Package net.sf.jiapi.file Description

This package contains a low level representation of the Java class file format. Classes and methods defined in this package tries to reflect class file format specified in Java Virtual Machine Specification as closely as possible.

This means, that same semantics are used whenever applicable, and no effort is being made to create high level abstraction of class file format. For example, it is not checked, that offset of the jump instructions are meaningful, or instructions referencing constant pool actually have a correct index to constant pool.

It is assumed, that other packages create their own high level abstraction, as they see fit.
