What is the role of the HotSpot JVM in Java?
The HotSpot JVM is a tool that helps optimize the Java bytecode during execution by using Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. While HotSpot uses JIT compilation, it's more than just an optimizerâ€”it also manages memory, garbage collection, and other JVM tasks.
Can you explain the JIT compilation process and how it contributes to performance improvements?
