SootUp library 
This is the home of the SootUp project. A complete overhaul of the good, old static analysis framework Soot.
What is SootUp
- Transforms JVM bytecode (and other inputs!) to the intermediate representation Jimple.
- Provides ClassHierarchy generation
- CallGraph generation with different algorithms/precisions
- Inter-procedural Data-flow Analysis with the IDE/IFDS framework enabled by Heros
- Applies/Enables simple transformations on retrieving a methods Body (see BodyInterceptor)
- Provides serialization of the Jimple IR.
Getting started
Documentation and usage examples are available on Github pages. Check the Javadocs. Do you have questions? Feel free to start a Discussion.

- Up-to-Date (i.e. Java8!) Sourcecode Frontend
- Full Java 17 Support for Bytecode
- Multiple Views (Scenes)
