Package alt.jiapi Description

High level instrumentation API.

This package contains the core classes and interfaces that are used by Jiapi. Most typical usage of this package is to create a InstrumentationContext and name the classes and methods that need to be instrumented.

A Loader, which will create instances of JiapiClass, can be obtained from that context. A dedicated ClassLoader, InstrumetingClassLoader, is provided as an example, which uses this Loader to instrument classes while they are being loaded.

This package is based on alt.jiapi.reflect package, and creates a higher level of abstration to bytecode manipulation.
