## What it is
Epic is a dynamic Java method AOP hooking library for Android, continuing Dexposed on the ART runtime and supporting Android 5.0 through 11. It allows non-invasive runtime hooking of both app code and Android framework code within the app process via a small JNI library.

## Use cases
- hook java methods at runtime on android
- implement aop in an android app without bytecode rewriting
- instrument methods for performance monitoring
- audit sensitive api calls for security
- monitor thread creation and destruction
- hook android framework methods inside my app process

## When to choose
- you need runtime method hooking on Android 5.0-11 without annotations or bytecode rewriting
- you want Dexposed/Xposed-style hooks inside your own app process
- you need instrumentation or security auditing of method calls

## When to avoid
- you target Android versions above 11
- you need to hook other apps system-wide like a root Xposed module
- you want a maintained actively developed solution for new Android releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: middleware, security, testing, monitoring
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, security, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: aop, hooking, xposed, dexposed, art-runtime, java-method-hook, runtime-instrumentation, android
