-title: FFI
-description: Use Bun's FFI module to efficiently call native libraries from JavaScript
----
-
-<Warning>
-  `bun:ffi` is **experimental**, with known bugs and limitations, and should not be relied on in production. The most
-  stable way to interact with native code from Bun is to write a [Node-API module](/docs/runtime/node-api).
-</Warning>
-
-Use the built-in `bun:ffi` module to efficiently call native libraries from JavaScript. It works with languages that support the C ABI (Zig, Rust, C/C++, C#, Nim, Kotlin, etc).
-
----
-
-## dlopen usage (`bun:ffi`)
-
-To print the version number of `sqlite3`:
-
-```ts
-import { dlopen, FFIType, suffix } from "bun:ffi";
-
-// `suffix` is either "dylib", "so", or "dll" depending on the platform
-// you don't have to use "suffix", it's just there for convenience
-const path = `libsqlite3.${suffix}`;
-
-const {
-  symbols: {
-    sqlite3_libversion, // the function to call
-  },
-} = dlopen(
-  path, // a library name or file path
-  {
-    sqlite3_libversion: {
-      // no arguments, returns a string
-      args: [],
-      returns: FFIType.cstring,
-    },
-  },
-);
-
-console.log(`SQLite 3 version: ${sqlite3_libversion()}`);
-```
-
----
-
-## Performance
-
-According to [our benchmark](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/bench/ffi), `bun:ffi` is roughly 2-6x faster than Node.js FFI via `Node-API`.
-
-<Image src="/images/ffi.png" height="400" />
-
-Bun generates & just-in-time compiles C bindings that efficiently convert values between JavaScript types and native types. To compile C, Bun embeds [TinyCC](https://github.com/TinyCC/tinycc), a small and fast C compiler.
-
----
-
-## Usage
-
-### Zig
-
-```zig add.zig icon="file-code"
-pub export fn add(a: i32, b: i32) i32 {
-  return a + b;
-}
-```
-
-To compile:
-
-```bash terminal icon="terminal"
-zig build-lib add.zig -dynamic -OReleaseFast
-```
-
-Pass a path to the shared library and a map of symbols to import into `dlopen`:
-
-```ts
-import { dlopen, FFIType, suffix } from "bun:ffi";
-const { i32 } = FFIType;
-
-const path = `libadd.${suffix}`;
-
-const lib = dlopen(path, {
-  add: {
-    args: [i32, i32],
-    returns: i32,
-  },
-});
-
-console.log(lib.symbols.add(1, 2));
-```
-
-### Rust
-
-```rust
-// add.rs
-#[no_mangle]
-pub extern "C" fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
-    a + b
-}
-```
-
-To compile:
-
-```bash
-rustc --crate-type cdylib add.rs
-```
-
-### C++
-
-```c
-#include <cstdint>
-
-extern "C" int32_t add(int32_t a, int32_t b) {
-    return a + b;
-}
-```
-
-To compile:
-
-```bash
-zig build-lib add.cpp -dynamic -lc -lc++
-```

-## Strings
-
-JavaScript strings and C-like strings are different, and that complicates using strings with native libraries.
-
-<Accordion title="How are JavaScript strings and C strings different?">
-JavaScript strings:
-
-- UTF16 (2 bytes per letter) or potentially latin1, depending on the JavaScript engine &amp; what characters are used
-- `length` stored separately
-- Immutable
-
-C strings:
-
-- UTF8 (1 byte per letter), usually
-- The length is not stored. Instead, the string is null-terminated which means the length is the index of the first `\0` it finds
-- Mutable
-
-</Accordion>
-
-To solve this, `bun:ffi` exports `CString` which extends JavaScript's built-in `String` to support null-terminated strings and add a few extras:
-
-```ts
-class CString extends String {
-  /**
-   * Given a `ptr`, this will automatically search for the closing `\0` character and transcode from UTF-8 to UTF-16 if necessary.
-   */
-  constructor(ptr: number, byteOffset?: number, byteLength?: number): string;
-
-  /**
-   * The ptr to the C string
-   *
-   * This `CString` instance is a clone of the string, so it
-   * is safe to continue using this instance after the `ptr` has been
-   * freed.
-   */
-  ptr: number;
-  byteOffset?: number;
-  byteLength?: number;
-}
-```
-
-To convert from a null-terminated string pointer to a JavaScript string:
-
-```ts
-const myString = new CString(ptr);
-```
-
-To convert from a pointer with a known length to a JavaScript string:
-
-```ts
-const myString = new CString(ptr, 0, byteLength);
-```
-
-The `new CString()` constructor clones the C string, so it is safe to continue using `myString` after `ptr` has been freed.
-
-```ts
-my_library_free(myString.ptr);
-
-// this is safe because myString is a clone
-console.log(myString);
-```
-
-When used in `returns`, `FFIType.cstring` coerces the pointer to a JavaScript `string`. When used in `args`, `FFIType.cstring` is identical to `ptr`.
-
----
-
-## Function pointers
-
-<Note>Async functions are not yet supported</Note>
-
-To call a function pointer from JavaScript, use `CFunction`. This is useful if using Node-API (napi) with Bun, and you've already loaded some symbols.
-
-```ts
-import { CFunction } from "bun:ffi";
-
-let myNativeLibraryGetVersion = /* somehow, you got this pointer */
-
-const getVersion = new CFunction({
-  returns: "cstring",
-  args: [],
-  ptr: myNativeLibraryGetVersion,
-});
-getVersion();
-```
-
-If you have multiple function pointers, you can define them all at once with `linkSymbols`:
-
-```ts
-import { linkSymbols } from "bun:ffi";
-
-// getVersionPtrs defined elsewhere
-const [majorPtr, minorPtr, patchPtr] = getVersionPtrs();
-
-const lib = linkSymbols({
-  // Unlike with dlopen(), the names here can be whatever you want
-  getMajor: {
-    returns: "cstring",
-    args: [],
-
-    // Since this doesn't use dlsym(), you have to provide a valid ptr
-    // That ptr could be a number or a bigint
-    // An invalid pointer will crash your program.
-    ptr: majorPtr,
-  },
-  getMinor: {
-    returns: "cstring",
-    args: [],
-    ptr: minorPtr,
-  },
-  getPatch: {
-    returns: "cstring",
-    args: [],
-    ptr: patchPtr,
-  },
-});
-
-const [major, minor, patch] = [lib.symbols.getMajor(), lib.symbols.getMinor(), lib.symbols.getPatch()];
-```
-
----
-
-## Callbacks
-
-Use `JSCallback` to create JavaScript callback functions that can be passed to C/FFI functions. The C/FFI function can call into the JavaScript/TypeScript code. This is useful for asynchronous code or whenever you want to call into JavaScript code from C.
-
-```ts
-import { dlopen, JSCallback, ptr, CString } from "bun:ffi";
-
-const {
-  symbols: { search },
-  close,
-} = dlopen("libmylib", {
-  search: {
-    returns: "usize",
-    args: ["cstring", "callback"],
-  },
-});
-
-const searchIterator = new JSCallback((ptr, length) => /hello/.test(new CString(ptr, length)), {
-  returns: "bool",
-  args: ["ptr", "usize"],
-});
-
-const str = Buffer.from("wwutwutwutwutwutwutwutwutwutwutut\0", "utf8");
-if (search(ptr(str), searchIterator)) {
-  // found a match!
-}
-
-// Sometime later:
-setTimeout(() => {
-  searchIterator.close();
-  close();
-}, 5000);
-```
-
-When you're done with a JSCallback, you should call `close()` to free the memory.
-
-### Experimental thread-safe callbacks
-
-`JSCallback` has experimental support for thread-safe callbacks. This will be needed if you pass a callback function into a different thread from its instantiation context. You can enable it with the optional `threadsafe` parameter.
-
-Currently, thread-safe callbacks work best when run from another thread that is running JavaScript code, i.e. a [`Worker`](/docs/runtime/workers). A future version of Bun will enable them to be called from any thread (such as new threads spawned by your native library that Bun is not aware of).
-
-```ts
-const searchIterator = new JSCallback((ptr, length) => /hello/.test(new CString(ptr, length)), {
-  returns: "bool",
-  args: ["ptr", "usize"],
-  threadsafe: true, // Optional. Defaults to `false`
-});
-```
-
-<Note>
-**⚡️ Performance tip** — For a slight performance boost, directly pass `JSCallback.prototype.ptr` instead of the `JSCallback` object:
-
-```ts
-const onResolve = new JSCallback(arg => arg === 42, {
-  returns: "bool",
-  args: ["i32"],
-});
-const setOnResolve = new CFunction({
-  returns: "bool",
-  args: ["function"],
-  ptr: myNativeLibrarySetOnResolve,
-});
-
-// This code runs slightly faster:
-setOnResolve(onResolve.ptr);
-
-// Compared to this:
-setOnResolve(onResolve);
-```
-
-</Note>
-

-
-## Pointers
-
-Bun represents [pointers](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)>) as a `number` in JavaScript.
-
-<Accordion title="How does a 64 bit pointer fit in a JavaScript number?">
-
-64-bit processors support up to [52 bits of addressable space](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#Limits_of_processors). [JavaScript numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format#IEEE_754_double-precision_binary_floating-point_format:_binary64) support 53 bits of usable space, so that leaves us with about 11 bits of extra space.
-
-**Why not `BigInt`?** `BigInt` is slower. JavaScript engines allocate a separate `BigInt` which means they can't fit into a regular JavaScript value. If you pass a `BigInt` to a function, it will be converted to a `number`
-
-**Windows Note**: The Windows API type HANDLE does not represent a virtual address, and using `ptr` for it will _not_ work as expected. Use `u64` to safely represent HANDLE values.
-
-</Accordion>
-
-To convert from a `TypedArray` to a pointer:
-
-```ts
-import { ptr } from "bun:ffi";
-let myTypedArray = new Uint8Array(32);
-const myPtr = ptr(myTypedArray);
-```
-
-To convert from a pointer to an `ArrayBuffer`:
-
-```ts
-import { ptr, toArrayBuffer } from "bun:ffi";
-let myTypedArray = new Uint8Array(32);
-const myPtr = ptr(myTypedArray);
-
-// toArrayBuffer accepts a `byteOffset` and `byteLength`
-// if `byteLength` is not provided, it is assumed to be a null-terminated pointer
-myTypedArray = new Uint8Array(toArrayBuffer(myPtr, 0, 32), 0, 32);
-```
-
-To read data from a pointer, you have two options. For long-lived pointers, use a `DataView`:
-
-```ts
-import { toArrayBuffer } from "bun:ffi";
-let myDataView = new DataView(toArrayBuffer(myPtr, 0, 32));
-
-console.log(
-  myDataView.getUint8(0, true),
-  myDataView.getUint8(1, true),
-  myDataView.getUint8(2, true),
-  myDataView.getUint8(3, true),
-);
-```
-
-For short-lived pointers, use `read`:
-
-```ts
-import { read } from "bun:ffi";
-
-console.log(
-  // ptr, byteOffset
-  read.u8(myPtr, 0),
-  read.u8(myPtr, 1),
-  read.u8(myPtr, 2),
-  read.u8(myPtr, 3),
-);
-```
-
-The `read` function behaves similarly to `DataView`, but it's usually faster because it doesn't need to create a `DataView` or `ArrayBuffer`.
-
-| `FFIType` | `read` function |
-| --------- | --------------- |
-| ptr       | `read.ptr`      |
-| i8        | `read.i8`       |
-| i16       | `read.i16`      |
-| i32       | `read.i32`      |
-| i64       | `read.i64`      |
-| u8        | `read.u8`       |
-| u16       | `read.u16`      |
-| u32       | `read.u32`      |
-| u64       | `read.u64`      |
-| f32       | `read.f32`      |
-| f64       | `read.f64`      |
-
-### Memory management
-
-`bun:ffi` does not manage memory for you. You must free the memory when you're done with it.
-
-#### From JavaScript
-
-If you want to track when a `TypedArray` is no longer in use from JavaScript, you can use a [FinalizationRegistry](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/FinalizationRegistry).
-
-#### From C, Rust, Zig, etc
-
-If you want to track when a `TypedArray` is no longer in use from C or FFI, you can pass a callback and an optional context pointer to `toArrayBuffer` or `toBuffer`. This function is called at some point later, once the garbage collector frees the underlying `ArrayBuffer` JavaScript object.
-
-The expected signature is the same as in [JavaScriptCore's C API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/javascriptcore/jstypedarraybytesdeallocator?language=objc):
-
-```c
-typedef void (*JSTypedArrayBytesDeallocator)(void *bytes, void *deallocatorContext);
-```
-
-```ts
-import { toArrayBuffer } from "bun:ffi";
-
-// with a deallocatorContext:
-toArrayBuffer(
-  bytes,
-  byteOffset,
-
-  byteLength,
-
-  // this is an optional pointer to a callback
-  deallocatorContext,
-
-  // this is a pointer to a function
-  jsTypedArrayBytesDeallocator,
-);
-
-// without a deallocatorContext:
-toArrayBuffer(
-  bytes,
-  byteOffset,
-
-  byteLength,
-
-  // this is a pointer to a function
-  jsTypedArrayBytesDeallocator,
-);
-```
-
-### Memory safety
-
-Using raw pointers outside of FFI is extremely not recommended. A future version of Bun may add a CLI flag to disable `bun:ffi`.
-
-### Pointer alignment
-
-If an API expects a pointer sized to something other than `char` or `u8`, make sure the `TypedArray` is also that size. A `u64*` is not exactly the same as `[8]u8*` due to alignment.
-
-### Passing a pointer
-
-Where FFI functions expect a pointer, pass a `TypedArray` of equivalent size:
-
-```ts
-import { dlopen, FFIType } from "bun:ffi";
-
-const {
-  symbols: { encode_png },
-} = dlopen(myLibraryPath, {
-  encode_png: {
-    // FFIType's can be specified as strings too
-    args: ["ptr", "u32", "u32"],
-    returns: FFIType.ptr,
-  },
-});
-
-const pixels = new Uint8ClampedArray(128 * 128 * 4);
-pixels.fill(254);
-pixels.subarray(0, 32 * 32 * 2).fill(0);
-
-const out = encode_png(
-  // pixels will be passed as a pointer
-  pixels,
-
-  128,
-  128,
-);
-```
-
-The [auto-generated wrapper](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/6a65631cbdcae75bfa1e64323a6ad613a922cd1a/src/bun.js/ffi.exports.js#L180-L182) converts the pointer to a `TypedArray`.
-
-<Accordion title="Hardmode">
-
-If you don't want the automatic conversion or you want a pointer to a specific byte offset within the `TypedArray`, you can also directly get the pointer to the `TypedArray`:
-
-```ts
-import { dlopen, FFIType, ptr } from "bun:ffi";
-
-const {
-  symbols: { encode_png },
-} = dlopen(myLibraryPath, {
-  encode_png: {
-    // FFIType's can be specified as strings too
-    args: ["ptr", "u32", "u32"],
-    returns: FFIType.ptr,
-  },
-});
-
-const pixels = new Uint8ClampedArray(128 * 128 * 4);
-pixels.fill(254);
-
-// this returns a number! not a BigInt!
-const myPtr = ptr(pixels);
-
-const out = encode_png(
-  myPtr,
-
-  // dimensions:
-  128,
-  128,
-);
-```
-
-</Accordion>
-
-### Reading pointers
-
-```ts
-const out = encode_png(
-  // pixels will be passed as a pointer
-  pixels,
-
-  // dimensions:
-  128,
-  128,
-);
-
-// assuming it is 0-terminated, it can be read like this:
-let png = new Uint8Array(toArrayBuffer(out));
-
-// save it to disk:
-await Bun.write("out.png", png);
-```
