A basic introduction to the classfile API in Java
(ifesunmola.com)
JEP 484 defines the class file API as a standard way for parsing, generating, and transforming Java class files. You’ll never need to use it if you don’t write/never plan to write a JVM-based library, framework or compiler. ASM would still be the go-to library for most developers because there’s already a lot of information about it online. As of the time of writing, the API is still in preview and will be finalized with the release of JDK 24.
