ClassGraph is an uber-fast parallelized classpath and module scanner for Java, Scala, Kotlin, and other JVM languages. It inspects classes, annotations, and resources at runtime with zero dependencies and broad JDK/JPMS compatibility.

Use cases

  • scan classpath for annotated classes
  • find all classes implementing an interface at runtime
  • discover resources in jars and modules
  • build plugin systems via classpath discovery
  • scan JPMS modules for classes

When to choose

  • you need fast, parallelized classpath scanning on the JVM
  • you want a dependency-free scanner supporting Java, Kotlin, and Scala
  • you need JPMS/module-path support

When to avoid

  • you only need simple reflection on known classes
  • you work outside the JVM ecosystem
