==User guide==
===Compatibility===
The majority of LibGDX is fully supported. A few features such as GL30 and audio recording are currently unsupported.
 
===JVM Languages===
Since Clearwing takes Bytecode as an input, it can support any JVM language. The main limitation would be the Clearwing runtime library, which is limited and may not support all required functionality, though this can typically be easily added as needed. Java and Kotlin have been tested and work.
 
===Libraries===
Pure Java libraries should work without any extra work, assuming they don't use unsupported runtime library features or JNI. Libraries compiled with a JDK version greater than 8 could also pose an issue. If a library uses JNI, custom native bindings could be provided and things should just work, the shared library loading API has no effect. See Libraries for a list of tested libraries.
 
===Ports===
These are some LibGDX games that have been ported using SwitchGDX.

Compatibility

The majority of LibGDX is fully supported. A few features such as GL30 and audio recording are currently unsupported.

JVM Languages

Since Clearwing takes Bytecode as an input, it can support any JVM language. The main limitation would be the Clearwing runtime library, which is limited and may not support all required functionality, though this can typically be easily added as needed. Java and Kotlin have been tested and work.

Libraries

Pure Java libraries should work without any extra work, assuming they don't use unsupported runtime library features or JNI. Libraries compiled with a JDK version greater than 8 could also pose an issue. If a library uses JNI, custom native bindings could be provided and things should just work, the shared library loading API has no effect. See Libraries for a list of tested libraries.
