About Bytecode Viewer
Bytecode Viewer opens Java class files, JARs, WAR files, Android APKs and DEX files and shows their code through six Java decompilers, including Procyon, CFR, Fernflower, Krakatau and JADX-Core, so you can compare results side by side.
It also includes bytecode editors, Smali/Baksmali editing for APKs, APKTool resource viewing, a compiler for recompiling decompiled classes, a plugin system with a malicious code scanner, and export to DEX, JAR, class or Java source. It suits developers and security researchers analysing Java and Android programs.
