A class loader is an object that is responsible for loading classes. The class ClassLoader is an abstract class. Given the binary name of a class, a class loader should attempt to
locate or generate data that constitutes a definition for the class.  A
typical strategy is to transform the name into a file name and then read a
"class file" of that name from a file system.
 Every Class object contains a reference to the ClassLoader that defined it. 
 Class objects for array classes are not created by class loaders, but are created automatically as required by the Java runtime. The class loader for an array class, as returned by Class.getClassLoader() is the same as the class loader for its element type; if the element type is a primitive type, then the array class has no class loader. 
 Applications implement subclasses of ClassLoader in order to extend the manner in which the Java virtual machine dynamically loads classes. 
 Class loaders may typically be used by security managers to indicate
security domains.
 In addition to loading classes, a class loader is also responsible for locating resources. A resource is some data (a ".class" file, configuration data, or an image for example) that is identified with an abstract '/'-separated path name. Resources are typically packaged with an application or library so that they can be located by code in the application or library. In some cases, the resources are included so that they can be located by other libraries. 
 The ClassLoader class uses a delegation model to search for classes and resources. Each instance of ClassLoader has an associated parent class loader. When requested to find a class or resource, a ClassLoader instance will usually delegate the search for the class or resource to its parent class loader before attempting to find the class or resource itself. 
 Class loaders that support concurrent loading of classes are known as
parallel capable class loaders and are required to register themselves at their class initialization time by invoking the ClassLoader.registerAsParallelCapable method. Note that the ClassLoader class is registered as parallel capable by default. However, its subclasses still need to register themselves if they are parallel capable. In environments in which the delegation model is not strictly hierarchical, class loaders need to be parallel capable, otherwise class loading can lead to deadlocks because the loader lock is held for the duration of the class loading process (see 
loadClass methods). 
 Run-time Built-in Class Loaders
The Java run-time has the following built-in class loaders:

Bootstrap class loader. It is the virtual machine's built-in class loader, typically represented as null, and does not have a parent.
Platform class loader. The platform class loader is responsible for loading the platform classes. Platform classes include Java SE platform APIs, their implementation classes and JDK-specific run-time classes that are defined by the platform class loader or its ancestors. The platform class loader can be used as the parent of a ClassLoader instance. 
 To allow for upgrading/overriding of modules defined to the platform
    class loader, and where upgraded modules read modules defined to class
    loaders other than the platform class loader and its ancestors, then
    the platform class loader may have to delegate to other class loaders,
    the application class loader for example.
    In other words, classes in named modules defined to class loaders
    other than the platform class loader and its ancestors may be visible
    to the platform class loader. 
System class loader. It is also known as application class loader and is distinct
    from the platform class loader.
    The system class loader is typically used to define classes on the
    application class path, module path, and JDK-specific tools.
    The platform class loader is the parent or an ancestor of the system class
    loader, so the system class loader can load platform classes by delegating
    to its parent.

 Normally, the Java virtual machine loads classes from the local file system in a platform-dependent manner. However, some classes may not originate from a file; they may originate from other sources, such as the network, or they could be constructed by an application. The method 
defineClass converts an array of bytes into an instance of class Class. Instances of this newly defined class can be created using Class.newInstance. 
 The methods and constructors of objects created by a class loader may reference other classes. To determine the class(es) referred to, the Java virtual machine invokes the loadClass method of the class loader that originally created the class. 
 For example, an application could create a network class loader to
download class files from a server.  Sample code might look like:
  ClassLoader loader = new NetworkClassLoader(host, port);
  Object main = loader.loadClass("Main", true).newInstance();
       . . .

 The network class loader subclass must define the methods findClass and loadClassData to load a class from the network. Once it has downloaded the bytes that make up the class, it should use the method defineClass to create a class instance. A sample implementation is: 
    class NetworkClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
        String host;
        int port;
        public Class findClass(String name) {
            byte[] b = loadClassData(name);
            return defineClass(name, b, 0, b.length);
        }
        private byte[] loadClassData(String name) {
            // load the class data from the connection
             . . .
        }
    }

 Binary names 
 Any class name provided as a String parameter to methods in ClassLoader must be a binary name as defined by The Java Language Specification.
 Examples of valid class names include:
  "java.lang.String"
  "javax.swing.JSpinner$DefaultEditor"
  "java.security.KeyStore$Builder$FileBuilder$1"
  "java.net.URLClassLoader$3$1"

 Any package name provided as a String parameter to methods in ClassLoader must be either the empty string (denoting an unnamed package) or a fully qualified name as defined by The Java Language Specification.

Converts an array of bytes into an instance of class Class. Before the Class can be used it must be resolved. 
 This method assigns a default 
ProtectionDomain to the newly defined class. The ProtectionDomain is effectively granted the same set of permissions returned when 
Policy.getPolicy().getPermissions(new CodeSource(null, null)) is invoked. The default protection domain is created on the first invocation of defineClass, and re-used on subsequent invocations. 
 To assign a specific ProtectionDomain to the class, use the defineClass method that takes a ProtectionDomain as one of its arguments. 
 This method defines a package in this class loader corresponding to the package of the Class (if such a package has not already been defined in this class loader). The name of the defined package is derived from the binary name of the class specified by the byte array b. Other properties of the defined package are as specified by Package.

Converts an array of bytes into an instance of class Class, with a given ProtectionDomain. 
 If the given ProtectionDomain is null, then a default protection domain will be assigned to the class as specified in the documentation for defineClass(String, byte[], int, int). Before the class can be used it must be resolved. 
 The first class defined in a package determines the exact set of certificates that all subsequent classes defined in that package must contain. The set of certificates for a class is obtained from the CodeSource within the ProtectionDomain of the class. Any classes added to that package must contain the same set of certificates or a SecurityException will be thrown. Note that if name is null, this check is not performed. You should always pass in the binary name of the
class you are defining as well as the bytes.  This ensures that the
class you are defining is indeed the class you think it is.
 If the specified name begins with "java.", it can only be defined by the 
platform class loader or its ancestors; otherwise SecurityException will be thrown. If name is not null, it must be equal to the binary name of the class specified by the byte array b, otherwise a NoClassDefFoundError will be thrown. 
 This method defines a package in this class loader corresponding to the package of the Class (if such a package has not already been defined in this class loader). The name of the defined package is derived from the binary name of the class specified by the byte array b. Other properties of the defined package are as specified by Package. 
Params:
name – 
        The expected binary name of the class, or null if not known
b –  The bytes that make up the class data. The bytes in positions off through off+len-1 should have the format of a valid class file as defined by The Java Virtual Machine Specification.
off –  The start offset in b of the class data
len – 
        The length of the class data
protectionDomain –  The ProtectionDomain of the class
Throws:
ClassFormatError – 
         If the data did not contain a valid class
NoClassDefFoundError –  If name is not null and not equal to the binary name of the class specified by b
IndexOutOfBoundsException –  If either off or len is negative, or if off+len is greater than b.length.
SecurityException –  If an attempt is made to add this class to a package that contains classes that were signed by a different set of certificates than this class, or if name begins with "java." and this class loader is not the platform class loader or its ancestor.
Returns:
 The Class object created from the data, and ProtectionDomain.

API Note:
This method is the basis for the Class.getResource,

Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation attempts to find the resource by invoking findResource(String) when the moduleName is null. It otherwise returns null.
Returns:
A URL to the resource; null if the resource could not be found, a URL could not be constructed to locate the resource, access to the resource is denied by the security manager, or there isn't a module of the given name defined to the class loader.

Finds the resource with the given name.  A resource is some data
(images, audio, text, etc) that can be accessed by class code in a way
that is independent of the location of the code.
 The name of a resource is a '/'-separated path name that identifies the resource. 
 Resources in named modules are subject to the encapsulation rules specified by Module.getResourceAsStream. Additionally, and except for the special case where the resource has a name ending with ".class", this method will only find resources in packages of named modules when the package is 
opened unconditionally (even if the caller of this method is in the same module as the resource). 
Params:
name – 
        The resource name
Throws:
NullPointerException – If name is null
Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation will first search the parent class loader for the resource; if the parent is null the path of the class loader built into the virtual machine is searched. If not found, this method will invoke findResource(String) to find the resource.
API Note:
Where several modules are defined to the same class loader, and where more than one module contains a resource with the given name, then the ordering that modules are searched is not specified and may be very unpredictable. When overriding this method it is recommended that an implementation ensures that any delegation is consistent with the getResources(String) method.
Returns:
 URL object for reading the resource; null if the resource could not be found, a URL could not be constructed to locate the resource, the resource is in a package that is not opened unconditionally, or access to the resource is denied by the security manager.

Returns the system class loader. This is the default delegation parent for new ClassLoader instances, and is typically the class loader used to start the application. 
 This method is first invoked early in the runtime's startup sequence, at which point it creates the system class loader. This class loader will be the context class loader for the main application thread (for example, the thread that invokes the main method of the main class). 
 The default system class loader is an implementation-dependent
instance of this class.
 If the system property "java.system.class.loader" is defined when this method is first invoked then the value of that property is taken to be the name of a class that will be returned as the system class loader. The class is loaded using the default system class loader and must define a public constructor that takes a single parameter of type ClassLoader which is used as the delegation parent. An instance is then created using this constructor with the default system class loader as the parameter. The resulting class loader is defined to be the system class loader. During construction, the class loader should take great care to avoid calling getSystemClassLoader(). If circular initialization of the system class loader is detected then an IllegalStateException is thrown. 
Throws:
SecurityException –  If a security manager is present, and the caller's class loader is not null and is not the same as or an ancestor of the system class loader, and the caller does not have the RuntimePermission("getClassLoader")
IllegalStateException –  If invoked recursively during the construction of the class loader specified by the "java.system.class.loader" property.
Error –  If the system property "java.system.class.loader" is defined but the named class could not be loaded, the provider class does not define the required constructor, or an exception is thrown by that constructor when it is invoked. The underlying cause of the error can be retrieved via the Throwable.getCause() method.
Implementation Note:
The system property to override the system class loader is not
examined until the VM is almost fully initialized. Code that executes
this method during startup should take care not to cache the return
value until the system is fully initialized.
 The name of the built-in system class loader is "app". The system property "java.class.path" is read during early initialization of the VM to determine the class path. An empty value of "java.class.path" property is interpreted differently depending on whether the initial module (the module containing the main class) is named or unnamed: If named, the built-in system class loader will have no class path and will search for classes and resources using the application module path; otherwise, if unnamed, it will set the class path to the current working directory. 
 JAR files on the class path may contain a Class-Path manifest attribute to specify dependent JAR files to be included in the class path. Class-Path entries must meet certain conditions for validity (see the 
JAR File Specification for details). Invalid Class-Path entries are ignored. For debugging purposes, ignored entries can be printed to the console if the jdk.net.URLClassPath.showIgnoredClassPathEntries system property is set to true.
Returns:
 The system ClassLoader

Defines a package by name in this ClassLoader. 

Package names must be unique within a class loader and

NullPointerException –  if name is null.
IllegalArgumentException –  if a package of the given name is already defined by this class loader
See Also:

     *      The JAR File Specification: Package Sealing
API Note:
 A class loader that wishes to define a package for classes in a JAR typically uses the specification and implementation titles, versions, and vendors from the JAR's manifest. If the package is specified as sealed in the JAR's manifest, the URL of the JAR file is typically used as the sealBase. If classes of package 'p' defined by this class loader are loaded from multiple JARs, the Package object may contain different information depending on the first class of package 'p' defined and which JAR's manifest is read first to explicitly define package 'p'. 
 It is strongly recommended that a class loader does not call this
method to explicitly define packages in named modules; instead, the package will be automatically defined when a class is being defined. If it is desirable to define Package explicitly, it should ensure that all packages in a named module are defined with the properties specified by Package. Otherwise, some Package objects in a named module may be for example sealed with different seal base.
Returns:
 The newly defined Package object

Sets the package default assertion status for the named package.  The
package default assertion status determines the assertion status for
classes initialized in the future that belong to the named package or
any of its "subpackages".
 A subpackage of a package named p is any package whose name begins with "p.". For example, javax.swing.text is a subpackage of javax.swing, and both java.util and java.lang.reflect are subpackages of java. 
 In the event that multiple package defaults apply to a given class, the package default pertaining to the most specific package takes precedence over the others. For example, if javax.lang and javax.lang.reflect both have package defaults associated with them, the latter package default applies to classes in javax.lang.reflect. 
 Package defaults take precedence over the class loader's default assertion status, and may be overridden on a per-class basis by invoking setClassAssertionStatus(String, boolean). 
Params:
packageName –  The name of the package whose package default assertion status is to be set. A null value indicates the unnamed package that is "current" (see section {@jls 7.4.2} of The Java Language Specification.)
enabled –  true if classes loaded by this classloader and belonging to the named package or any of its subpackages will have assertions enabled by default, false if they will have assertions disabled by default.
