A foreign function interface (FFI) is a mechanism by which a program written in one programming language can call routines or make use of services written or compiled in another one. An FFI is often used in contexts where calls are made into a binary dynamic-link library.

Naming

The term comes from the specification for Common Lisp, which explicitly refers to the programming language feature enabling for inter-language calls as such; the term is also often used officially by the interpreter and compiler documentation for Haskell, Rust, PHP, Python, and LuaJIT (Lua). Other languages use other terminology: Ada has language bindings, while Java has Java Native Interface (JNI), Java Native Access (JNA), or since Java 22, Foreign Function and Memory API. Foreign function interface has become generic terminology for mechanisms which provide such services.

Operation

The primary function of a foreign function interface is to mate the semantics and calling conventions of one programming language (the host language, or the language which defines the FFI), with the semantics and conventions of another (the guest language). This process must also take into consideration the runtime environments and application binary interfaces of both. This can be done in several ways:

• Requiring that guest-language functions which are to be host-language callable be specified or implemented in a particular way, often using a compatibility library of some sort.
• Use of a tool to automatically wrap guest-language functions with appropriate glue code, which performs any necessary translation.
• Use of a wrapper library
• Restricting the set of host language abilities which can be used cross-language. For example, C++ functions called from C may not (in general) include reference parameters or throw exceptions.

FFIs may be complicated by the following considerations:

• If one language supports garbage collection (GC) and the other does not; care must be taken that the non-GC language code does nothing to cause GC in the other to fail. In JNI, for example, C code which "holds on to" object references that it receives from Java must communicate this information successfully to the Java virtual machine or Java Runtime Environment (JRE), otherwise, Java may delete objects before C finishes with them. (The C code must also explicitly release its link to any such object once C has no further need of that object.)
• Complicated or non-trivial objects or datatypes may be difficult to map from one environment to another.
• It may not be possible for both languages to maintain references to the same instance of a mutable object, due to the mapping issue above.
• One or both languages may be running on a virtual machine (VM); moreover, if both are, these are often different VMs.
• Cross-language inheritance and other differences, such as between type systems or between object composition models, may be especially difficult.

Examples of FFIs include:

• Ada language bindings, allowing not only to call foreign functions but also to export its functions and methods to be called from non-Ada code.
• C++ has a trivial FFI with C, as the languages share a significant common subset. The primary effect of the extern "C" declaration in C++ is to disable C++ name mangling. With other languages, separate utils or middleware are used, examples include:
  • GNOME project: GObject Introspection
  • SWIG
  • Chromium project: Blink and V8 engine use an interface description language (IDL) compiler for standard JavaScript interfaces
  • Other IDL compilers
• Clean provides a bidirectional FFI with all languages following C or the stdcall calling convention.
• Common Lisp
• Compiled Native Interface (CNI), alternative to JNI used in the GNU compiler environment.
• One of the bases of the Component Object Model is a common interface format, which natively uses the same types as Visual Basic for strings and arrays.
• D does it the same way as C++ does, with extern "C" through extern (C++)
• Dart includes dart:ffi library to call native C code for mobile, command-line, and server applications
• Dynamic programming languages, such as Python, Perl, Tcl, and Ruby, all provide easy access to native code written in C, C++, or any other language obeying C/C++ calling conventions.
• Factor has FFIs for C, Fortran, Objective-C, and Windows COM; all of these enable importing and calling arbitrary shared libraries dynamically.
• Fortran 2003 has a module ISO_C_BINDING which provides interoperable data types (both intrinsic types and POD structs), interoperable pointers, interoperable global data stores, and mechanisms for calling C from Fortran and for calling Fortran from C. It has been improved in the Fortran 2018 standard.
• Go can call C code directly via the "C" pseudo-package.
• Google Web Toolkit (GWT), in which Java is compiled to JavaScript, has an FFI named JSNI which allows Java source code to call arbitrary JavaScript functions, and for JavaScript to call back into Java.
• Haskell
• Java Native Interface (JNI), which provides an interface between Java and C/C++, the preferred systems languages on most systems where Java is deployed. Java Native Access (JNA) provides an interface with native libraries without having to write glue code. In Java 22, the Foreign Function and Memory API was added which is a modern replacement for JNI.
• LuaJIT, a just-in-time implementation of Lua, has an FFI that allows "calling external C functions and using C data structures from pure Lua code".
• .NET have FFI through its LibraryImport attribute.
• Nim has an FFI which enables it to use source from C, C++, and Objective-C. It can also interface with JavaScript.
• JavaScript usually runs inside web browser runtimes that don't provide direct access to system libraries or commands to run, but there are few exceptions:
  • Node.js provides functions to open precompiled .node modules that in turn may provide access to non-builtin resources.
  • Deno, provides kind of FFI interface via dlopen(...) functions.
  • Bun provides a built-in module, bun:ffi, to efficiently call native libraries directly from JavaScript.
• Julia has ccall keyword to call C (and other languages, e.g., Fortran); while packages, providing similar no-boilerplate support, are available for some languages e.g., for Python (to e.g. provide OO support and GC support), Java (and supports other JDK-languages, such as Scala) and R. Interactive use with C++ is also possible with Cxx.jl package.
• PhoneGap (was named Apache Callback, but is now Apache Cordova) is a platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Also, it has FFIs via JavaScript callback functions for access to methods and properties of mobile phone's native features including accelerometer, camera (also PhotoLibrary and SavedPhotoAlbum), compass, storage (SQL database and localStorage), notification, media and capture (playing and recording or audio and video), file, contacts (address book), events, device, and connection information.[1],[2].
• PHP provides FFI to C.
• Pony supports integration with C via its FFI.
• Python provides the ctypes and cffi modules. For example, the ctypes module can load C functions from a shared library, or dynamic-link library (DLL) on-the-fly and translate simple data types automatically between Python and C semantics as follows:

  import ctypes
  libc = ctypes.CDLL("/lib/libc.so.6")  # Under Linux/Unix
  t = libc.time(None)                   # Equivalent C code: t = time(NULL)
  print(t)
  

• P/Invoke, which provides an interface between the Microsoft Common Language Runtime and native code.
• Racket has a native FFI based heavily on macros that enables importing arbitrary shared libraries dynamically.
• Raku can call Ruby, Python, Perl, Brainfuck, Lua, C, C++, Go, Scheme (Guile, Gambit), and Rust
• Ruby provides FFI either through the ffi gem, or through the standard library fiddle.

  require 'fiddle'
  
  libm = Fiddle.dlopen('/lib/libm.so.6')
  
  # Equivalent to: double floor(double x);
  floor = Fiddle::Function.new(
    libm.sym('floor'),     # ptr is a referenced function(, or symbol), of a Fiddle::Handle.
    [Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE], # args is an Array of arguments, passed to the ptr function.
    Fiddle::TYPE_DOUBLE    # ret_type is the return type of the function
  )
  
  # Equivalent to: floor(3.14159);
  floor.call(3.14159) #=> 3.0
  

• Rust defines a foreign function interface to functions with various standard application binary interface (ABIs) in namespace std::ffi for calling C code. There is also a library called CXX for interfacing with C++, as well as for Elixir, Rustler.
• V (Vlang) can include and supports the use of C source code and libraries.
• Visual Basic has a declarative syntax that allows it to call non-Unicode C functions.
• Wolfram Language provides a technology named Wolfram Symbolic Transfer Protocol (WSTP) which enables bidirectional calling of code between other languages with bindings for C++, Java, .NET. and other languages.
• Zig provides FFI to C using the builtin cImport function.

In addition, many FFIs can be generated automatically: for example, SWIG. However, in the case of an extension language a semantic inversion of the relationship of guest and host can occur, when a smaller body of extension language is the guest invoking services in the larger body of host language, such as writing a small plugin for GIMP.

Some FFIs are restricted to free standing functions, while others also allow calls of functions embedded in an object or class (often called method calls); some even permit migration of complex datatypes or objects across the language boundary.

In most cases, an FFI is defined by a higher-level language, so that it may employ services defined and implemented in a lower-level language, typically a system programming language like C or C++. This is typically done to either access operating system (OS) services in the language in which the OS API is defined, or for performance goals.

Many FFIs also provide the means for the called language to invoke services in the host language also.

The term foreign function interface is generally not used to describe multi-lingual runtimes such as the Microsoft Common Language Runtime, where a common substrate is provided which enables any CLR-compliant language to use services defined in any other. (However, in this case the CLR does include an FFI, P/Invoke, to call outside the runtime.) In addition, many distributed computing architectures such as the Java remote method invocation (RMI), RPC, CORBA, SOAP and D-Bus permit different services to be written in different languages; such architectures are generally not considered FFIs.

Special cases

There are some special cases, in which the languages compile into the same bytecode VM, like Clojure and Java, as well as Elixir and Erlang. Since there is no interface, it is not an FFI, strictly speaking, while it offers the same functions to the user.
