ASM is a Java bytecode manipulation framework. It can be used to
|
|
dynamically generate stub classes or other proxy classes, directly in
|
|
binary form, or to dynamically modify classes at load time, i.e., just
|
|
before they are loaded into the Java Virtual Machine.
|
|
|
|
ASM offers similar functionalities as BCEL or SERP, but is much more
|
|
smaller (25KB instead of 350KB for BCEL and 150KB for SERP) and faster
|
|
than these tools (the overhead of a load time class transformation is of
|
|
the order of 60% with ASM, 700% or more with BCEL, and 1100% or more
|
|
with SERP). Indeed ASM was designed to be used in a dynamic way* and was
|
|
therefore designed and implemented to be as small and as fast as
|
|
possible.
