Java bytecode engineering toolkit

### [Javassist version 3](http://www.javassist.org)



Copyright (C) 1999-2023 by Shigeru Chiba, All rights reserved.



Javassist (JAVA programming ASSISTant) makes Java bytecode manipulation

simple. It is a class library for editing bytecodes in Java; it enables Java

programs to define a new class at runtime and to modify a class file when the

JVM loads it. Unlike other similar bytecode editors, Javassist provides two

levels of API: source level and bytecode level. If the users use the source-

level API, they can edit a class file without knowledge of the specifications

of the Java bytecode. The whole API is designed with only the vocabulary of

the Java language. You can even specify inserted bytecode in the form of

source text; Javassist compiles it on the fly. On the other hand, the

bytecode-level API allows the users to directly edit a class file as other

editors.
