How to load only class description using file path without loading dependencies?

Question

Java

How to pull class definition CD (annotations of class, methods, fields) without loading dependencies and using only classPath?
I tried to pull it out using classLoader, but in my case there was a problem because I do not know the dependencies of this class.
If an error occurs to get a CD using ClassLoader, because dependency classes are not available, I
see two solutions:
1) ASM
2) There is access to sources, and you can just parse them (but I really don’t want to do this)
Maybe someone will suggest a good solution for getting meta information (name and annotations) of the class, fields and methods ?
