Endive: A JVM native WebAssembly runtime

Endive is a JVM-native WebAssembly runtime that allows developers to run WebAssembly programs directly on the Java Virtual Machine without native dependencies or JNI, eliminating distribution and safety complexities associated with embedding C/C++/Rust-based runtimes in Java applications. Originally developed as Chicory by Dylibso, Inc., it is now a Bytecode Alliance hosted project with completed features including WASM binary parsing, SIMD support, WASIp1 support, and exception handling, with ongoing work on performance optimization and WASIp2 support.
