Class ClassInfo

java.lang.Object
org.apache.juneau.reflect.ClassInfo
public final class ClassInfo extends Object
Lightweight utility class for introspecting information about a class.

Provides various convenience methods for introspecting fields/methods/annotations that aren't provided by the standard Java reflection APIs.

Objects are designed to be lightweight to create and threadsafe.

Example:

// Wrap our class inside a ClassInfo. ClassInfo classInfo = ClassInfo.of(MyClass.class); // Get all methods in parent-to-child order, sorted alphabetically per class. for (MethodInfo methodInfo : classInfo.getAllMethods()) { // Do something with it. } // Get all class-level annotations in parent-to-child order. for (MyAnnotation annotation : classInfo.getAnnotations(MyAnnotation.class)) { // Do something with it. }
