Java Record - the coolest feature you're not using yet | Learn Java programming
Hello everyone, welcome to Model My Mind, your channel for programming.
Records are a relatively new feature in Java, designed to avoid boilerplate code. I haven't worked with records in my projects yet, but I've been looking into it and want to show you how records can make your life as a software developer easier. Records are one of the new features in Java 14. A record is a special type of class—just as an ENUM is a special type of class. Java records were introduced with the intention of faster creation of "data carrier classes," meaning classes whose sole purpose is to hold data and transport it between modules, also known as POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) and DTOs (Data Transfer Objects). Records were first piloted in Java SE 14. The functionality of records, as well as their design, implementation, and specification, were complete, but they weren't yet a permanent addition to the Java language: it was still unclear whether the feature (records) would be included in future versions. Java SE 15 extends the Record feature and is now an integral part of the Java programming language. For this tutorial, I recommend using Java 15 or later. I personally use Java 17.
