Interface ClassModel

All Superinterfaces:
AttributedElement,ClassFileElement,CompoundElement<ClassElement>,Iterable<ClassElement>
public sealed interfaceClassModelextendsCompoundElement<ClassElement>,AttributedElement
Models aclass file. Aclass file can be viewed as acomposition ofClassElements, or by random access via accessor methods if only specific parts of the class file is needed.

UseClassFile.parse(byte[]), which parses the binary data of a class file into a model, to obtain aClassModel.

To construct aclass file, useClassFile.build(ClassDesc, Consumer).ClassFile.transformClass(ClassModel, ClassTransform) allows creating a new class by selectively processing the original class elements and directing the results to a class builder.

A class holds attributes, most of which are accessible as member elements.BootstrapMethodsAttribute can only be accessed viaexplicit attribute reading, as it is modeled as part of theconstant pool.
