## What it is
LSPlant is a C++ library for hooking Java methods in the Android Runtime (ART), supporting hook/unhook and inline deoptimization. It is part of the LSPosed framework and supports Android 5.0 through 17 across multiple CPU architectures.

## Use cases
- hook java methods in android apps
- build an xposed-like module framework
- intercept method calls at runtime on android
- modify app behavior without modifying the apk
- instrument android apps for research or debugging
- hook libart internals with a custom inline hooker

## When to choose
- you need native-level ART method hooking in your own Android framework or module
- you want broad Android version and architecture coverage including riscv64
- you are building on top of LSPosed or a similar hooking ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you only need simple Java-level instrumentation without native code
- your project targets non-Android platforms
- you need a pure-Java hooking solution without JNI integration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: security, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, reverse-engineering
- platform: cpp
- tags: android-hooking, art-runtime, java-method-hook, xposed, jni, inline-hook, android
