---++ Introduction

Jimple-front defines the syntax of Jimple, the typed 3-address representation of Java bytecode of the [[http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/soot/][Soot Java optimization framework]]. This representation is suitable for program optimization and analysis. You can use Jimple-front to parse Jimple. A pretty-printer for Jimple is under development.

You can [[http://releases.strategoxt.org/docs/syntax/jimple-front/stable/docs/html/languages/jimple/Main.sdf.html][browse ]] the Jimple-front syntax definition for Jimple online.
