 Description: 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 is an all purpose Java bytecode manipulation and analysis framework.
+ It can be used to modify existing classes or dynamically generate classes,

- ASM offers similar functionalities as BCEL or SERP, but is much 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 on
- the order of 60% with ASM, 700% or more with BCEL, and 1100% or more with
- SERP). ASM was designed to be used in a dynamic and static way and was
- therefore designed and implemented to be as small and as fast as possible.
+ ASM offer similar functionality as other bytecode frameworks, but it is
+ focused on simplicity of use and performance. Because it was designed and
+ implemented to be as small and as fast as possible, it makes it very
+ attractive for using in dynamic systems.
