- cogman10 1y agoIt's complete but low level compared to Byte Buddy. A better comparison is the to ASM (which is what it was meant to replace). https://asm.ow2.io/ https://asm.ow2.io/
- pjmlp 1y agoI have not yet used it, only raising awareness. This came to be, because Oracle noticed everyone, including themselves, were depending on ASM, so the JEP was born.
- cogman10 1y agoYup, the ASM dependency is one that would constantly cause us headaches. A load of frameworks have a path to ASM for one reason or another and it requires an update every time you move up JVM runtimes. It's usually not painful to update (just bump the version) but it's an annoyance. In fact, Byte buddy has a dep on ASM.
- aardvark179 1y agoIt is complete, and I’ve found it extremely usable when writing code to trawl over a large number of class files. Looks like it should be good for code generation as well but I haven’t used that yet.
