Class-File API was proposed as a preview feature by JEP 457 and delivered in JDK 22 . 
->
The Class-File API...


I think it would be useful to be a little more descriptive on the changes

> - CodeBuilder API surface consolidation

Implementation-wise were there any performance improvements? Or improvements to the validation of class files?

Paul.
