How to decode AndroidManifest.xml

I am trying to decode AndroidManifest.xml

I don't want to use APKTOOL or any of its related depedencies because I am trying to write a program that will execute on a machine/device without support for them.

Is there a name to the type of encoding of AndroidManifest.xml?

I am trying to write the program in Java, is there any supported libraries that could help?

You don't need to use/download any external tools

Recent versions of Android Studio have a tool to analyze and profile APKs.

In the latest version 3.1.2 (May 12, 2018): Go to File > Profile or Debug Apk does the job and more.
