/**
 * Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective
 * information about classes and objects.  Reflection allows
 * programmatic access to information about the fields, methods and
 * constructors of loaded classes, and the use of reflected fields,
 * methods, and constructors to operate on their underlying
 * counterparts, within security restrictions.
 *
 * <p>{@code AccessibleObject} allows suppression of access checks if
 * the necessary {@code ReflectPermission} is available.
 *
 * <p>{@code Array} provides static methods to dynamically create and
 * access arrays.
 *
 * <p>Classes in this package, along with {@code java.lang.Class}
 * accommodate applications such as debuggers, interpreters, object
 * inspectors, class browsers, and services such as Object
 * Serialization and JavaBeans that need access to either the public
 * members of a target object (based on its runtime class) or the
 * members declared by a given class.
 *
 * @since JDK1.1
