## Description

XposedBridge is an Android Java hooking framework and bytecode instrumentation engine. It functions as a runtime system for intercepting and modifying Java method calls within the Android operating system and installed applications.

The project provides a mechanism for zygote process injection, ensuring that all spawned applications inherit the instrumentation logic. It enables the modification of internal Android system behaviors through method proxying and Java reflection to access private internal system members.

The framework supports dynamic Android instrumentation and runtime analysis, allowing for the observation and manipulation of method execution flows. Its capabilities cover Android application modding, including the ability to alter internal logic without modifying original APK files.
