Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
`static interface`	`ClassLoadingStrategy.Configurable<S extends java.lang.ClassLoader>`	A `ClassLoadingStrategy` that allows configuring the strategy's behavior.
`static class`	`ClassLoadingStrategy.Default`	This class contains implementations of default class loading strategies.
`static class`	`ClassLoadingStrategy.ForBootstrapInjection`	A class loading strategy which allows class injection into the bootstrap class loader if appropriate.
`static class`	`ClassLoadingStrategy.ForUnsafeInjection`	A class loading strategy that injects a class using `sun.misc.Unsafe`.
`static class`	`ClassLoadingStrategy.UsingLookup`	A class loading strategy that uses a `java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup` instance for defining types.

Field Summary

Fields

`static java.lang.ClassLoader`	`BOOTSTRAP_LOADER`	A type-safe constant representing the bootstrap class loader which is represented by `null` within Java.
`static java.security.ProtectionDomain`	`NO_PROTECTION_DOMAIN`	An undefined protection domain.

```
static final java.lang.ClassLoader BOOTSTRAP_LOADER
```
    A type-safe constant representing the bootstrap class loader which is represented by null within Java.

- Method Detail
  - load
```
java.util.Map<TypeDescription,java.lang.Class<?>> load(T classLoader,
                                                             java.util.Map<TypeDescription,byte[]> types)
```
    Loads a given collection of classes given their binary representation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    classLoader - The class loader to used for loading the classes.
    
    types - Byte array representations of the types to be loaded mapped by their descriptions, where an iteration order defines an order in which they are supposed to be loaded, if relevant.
    
    Returns:
    
    A collection of the loaded classes which will be initialized in the iteration order of the returned collection.
