Additional Notes
Why might you avoid using reflection in high-performance applications?
Track: Java
Topic: Reflection API
Focus: Method.invoke
Java: Method.invoke
Answer
Due to its overhead and complexity. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Reflection involves additional processing like type checking and security permission checks, which slow down execution. In performance-critical applications, these overheads can affect responsiveness and efficiency, hence direct method calls are preferred.
