JIT (Just-In-Time Compilation)

Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation is a process that improves a program’s performance by converting its code into machine language right before it runs. Instead of translating the entire program all at once (like in traditional compilation), JIT compiles only the parts needed at that moment. This allows the program to run faster and adapt to different conditions, because it can optimize the code based on real-time data. JIT is commonly used in environments like web browsers and Java applications to balance speed and flexibility efficiently.
