# jOOQ/jOOR

jOOR - Fluent Reflection in Java jOOR is a very simple fluent API that gives access to your Java Class structures in a more intuitive way. The JDK's reflection APIs are hard and verbose to use. Other languages have much simpler constructs to access type meta information at runtime. Let us make Java reflection better.

## What it is
jOOR is a small, dependency-free fluent API wrapper around Java's java.lang.reflect package, making reflection more intuitive and concise. It also simplifies java.lang.reflect.Proxy usage and offers optional runtime compilation of Java source code via javax.tools.JavaCompiler.

## Use cases
- simplify verbose Java reflection code
- call methods and constructors fluently at runtime
- create dynamic proxies from interfaces easily
- compile Java source code at runtime
- access private fields and methods in tests

## When to choose
- you need frequent runtime reflection in Java and want readable, concise code
- you want a zero-dependency reflection utility
- you need simple dynamic proxy creation or runtime compilation

## When to avoid
- you can use compile-time-safe alternatives like code generation
- your platform forbids reflection (e.g. native-image without configuration)
- you need reflection features beyond jOOR's wrapper scope

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, parser, compiler
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: reflection, fluent-api, runtime-compilation, proxies, java
