Publisher review:Jasmin is an assembler for the Java Virtual Machine. Jasmin is an assembler for the Java Virtual Machine. It takes ASCII descriptions of Java classes, written in a simple assembler-like syntax using the Java Virtual Machine instruction set. It converts them into binary Java class files, suitable for loading by a Java runtime system.
Jasmin was originally created as a companion to the book "Java Virtual Machine", written by Jon Meyer and Troy Downing and published by O'Reilly Associates. Since then, it has become the de-facto standard assembly format for Java.
It is used in dozens of compiler classes throughout the world, and has been ported and cloned multiple times. For better or worse, Jasmin remains the oldest and the original Java assembler.
Jasmin is designed as a simple assembler. It has a clean easy-to-learn syntax with few bells and whistles. Where possible, Jasmin adopts a one-to-one mapping between its syntax and the conventions followed by Java class files.
For example, package names in Jasmin are delimited with the '/' character (e.g. "java/lang/String") used by the class file format, instead of the '.' character (java.lang.String) used in the Java language. The Jasmin assembler does little compile-time processing or checking of the input code. For example, it doesn't check that classes you reference actually exist, or that your type descriptors are well formed.
Jasmin also lacks many of the feautures found in full macro assemblers. For example, it doesn't inline mathematical expressions, perform variable substitutions, or support macros. On the other hand, using Jasmin you can quickly try out nearly all of the features of the Java Virtual Machine, including methods, fields, subroutines, exception handlers, and so on. The Jasmin syntax is also readable and compact.
Jasmin 2.3 is a Java script for XML Tools scripts design by Jon Meyer.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
