Answer
It allows inspection and manipulation of annotations at runtime.
The java.lang.reflect package provides tools to inspect classes, methods, and fields at runtime, enabling the handling of annotations dynamically. This is essential for frameworks that need to configure themselves based on annotated metadata, like mapping HTTP requests to controller methods using annotations.
