> Gets the assemblies Unity has loaded into the current execution context.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Assemblies](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/assemblies.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp

```

### Returns

| Type                                                                                                          | Description                 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| [IReadOnlyList\<Assembly>](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.ireadonlylist-1) | A collection of assemblies. |

### Remarks

Use `CurrentAssemblies.GetLoadedAssemblies` to get a list of currently loaded assemblies that can be used for reflection purposes. This is a safer alternative to .NET's [AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.appdomain.getassemblies?view=net-9.0) in the Unity context. Unity uses the [AssemblyLoadContext](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.loader.assemblyloadcontext?view=net-9.0) mechanism for code reload, which means assemblies can be loaded and unloaded at runtime. `AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies` returns a list of all loaded assemblies, which may include assemblies in the unloaded state and lead to exceptions and logical errors in the Editor code.

### Examples

```csharp
using System.Text;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Assemblies;

public class LoadedAssemblyInfo
{
    [MenuItem("Test/Get Loaded Assembly Info")]
    static void GetLoadedAssemblyInfo()
    {
        var sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.AppendLine("Currently loaded assemblies are:");

        foreach (var assembly in CurrentAssemblies.GetLoadedAssemblies())
        {
            sb.AppendLine(assembly.FullName);
        }

        Debug.Log(sb.ToString());
    }
}
```
