JavaFX is a software platform for creating and delivering desktop applications, as well as rich web applications that can run across a wide variety of devices. JavaFX has support for desktop computers and web browsers[citation needed] on Microsoft Windows, Linux (including Raspberry Pi), and macOS, as well as mobile devices running iOS and Android, through Gluon Mobile.

With the release of JDK 11 in 2018, Oracle made JavaFX part of the OpenJDK under the OpenJFX project,[3] in order to increase the pace of its development.[4]

Open-source JavaFXPorts works for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android.[5] The related commercial software created under the name "Gluon" supports the same mobile platforms with additional features plus desktop.[6] This allows a single source code base to create applications for the desktop, iOS, and Android devices.
