| 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. |
