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. + </longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
