• Reflection is the process of analyzing the capabilities of class at run time
• That is analyzing the details about the class which includes the methods in the class, the variables of the class, the constructors in the class, the interface that the class is implementing, the methods that are coming from the interface.
• To gather all the above details, java provides the REFLECTION API.
