JADE is a proprietary object-oriented software development and deployment platform product from the New Zealand-based Jade Software Corporation, first released in 1996. It consists of the JADE programming language, integrated development environment and debugger, integrated application server and object database management system.

Designed as an end-to-end development environment to allow systems to be coded in one language from the database server down to the clients, it also provides application programming interfaces (APIs) for other languages, including .NET framework, Java, C, C++, and Web services.

The JADE platform is dual-licenced. For development, the free limited Jade Development Licence is provided. For deployment, a proprietary software licence mandates per-process fees.
