### 28.6 Java and JSAPI ¶

Initial support for talking to a Festival server from java is included from version 1.3.0 and initial JSAPI support is included from 1.4.0. At present the JSAPI talks to a Festival server elsewhere rather than as part of the Java process itself.

A simple (Pure) Java festival client is given `festival/src/modules/java/cstr/festival/Client.java` with a wraparound script in `festival/bin/festival_client_java`.

See the file `festival/src/modules/java/cstr/festival/jsapi/ReadMe` for requirements and a small example of using the JSAPI interface.
