Quiz on Reflection in Java
Reflection in Java is a powerful feature of the Java programming language that allows a program to inspect and manipulate classes, methods, constructors, and fields at runtime. It is part of the java.lang.reflect package and is widely used in frameworks, IDEs, and debugging tools.
Summary
Java Reflection API allows runtime inspection and modification of classes, fields, methods, and constructors. Though powerful, it must be used cautiously due to performance costs, security risks, and violation of encapsulation. Reflection is heavily used in frameworks like Spring, Hibernate, and JUnit.
