API bindings

API bindings allow for programmatic use of IREE's compiler and runtime components. The core IREE project is written in C¹, allowing for API bindings to be written in a variety of other languages.

Official API bindings

Members of the core project team and other partner groups maintain these official bindings:

Language	Compiler API?	Runtime API?	Published packages?
C/C++	Supported	Supported	Unsupported
Python	Supported	Supported	Supported

C/C++

See the C API reference page.

Unofficial and experimental API bindings

Members of our developer community have authored bindings using other languages:

Language	Compiler API?	Runtime API?	Published packages?
JavaScript	Experimental	Experimental	Unsupported
Java	Unsupported	Experimental	Unsupported
Julia	Experimental	Experimental	Unsupported
Rust	Unsupported	Experimental	Experimental

JavaScript

• JavaScript bindings for WebAssembly and WebGPU are under development in IREE's experimental/web/ directory.

Java

• Java TFLite bindings were developed at one point in IREE's runtime/bindings/tflite/java directory.

Julia

• Coil.jl is an experimental package to lower and execute Julia tensor operations to IREE.

Rust

• iree-rs is a crate containing rustic bindings for the IREE runtime.
