Byte Buddy is a library for creating Java classes at runtime of a Java program. For this purpose, the net.bytebuddy.ByteBuddy class serves as an entry point. The following example 
Class<?> dynamicType = new ByteBuddy()
   .subclass(Object.class)
   .implement(Serializable.class)
   .intercept(named("toString"), FixedValue.value("Hello World!"))
   .make()
   .load(getClass().getClassLoader(), ClassLoadingStrategy.Default.WRAPPER)
   .getLoaded();
dynamicType.newInstance().toString; // returns "Hello World!"
creates a subclass of the java.lang.Object class which implements the java.io.Serializable interface. The java.lang.Object#toString() method is overridden to return Hello World!.

public class
TypeCache<
The type of the key that is used for identifying stored classes per class loader. Such keys must not strongly reference any types or class loaders without potentially corrupting the garbage eligibility of stored classes. As the storage is segmented by class loader, it is normally sufficient to store types by their name.
