JVM Metadata

What is JVM Metadata?
The kotlin-metadata-jvm library provides tools to read, modify, and generate metadata from Kotlin classes compiled for the JVM. This metadata, stored in the @Metadata annotation within .class files, is used by libraries and tools such as kotlin-reflect to inspect Kotlin-specific constructs such as properties, functions, and classes at runtime.
