What is meant by Java class parser?

A Java Class Parser is a software tool that analyzes Java class files (.class) or Java source code and extracts their structure and content. It allows developers to programmatically access information about classes, methods, fields, and other elements of Java code.

Typical software functions in the area of "Java Class Parser":

1. Structure analysis: Extraction of class structure, including inheritance hierarchy and implemented interfaces.
2. Method analysis: Identification and extraction of method signatures, parameters, and return types.
3. Field analysis: Detection and extraction of fields and their properties such as data type and access modifiers.
4. Annotation processing: Recognition and processing of Java annotations in classes, methods, and fields.
5. Bytecode analysis: Examination of Java bytecode for deeper analysis and optimizations.
6. AST generation: Creation of an abstract syntax tree (AST) for advanced code analysis and transformations.
