Java 23 New Features Simplified

Java is growing rapidly day by day.

Version 23 released in September 2024 and it comes up with a lot of new features.

You can now,

• Use primitive types like int, float, boolean in instanceof, switch and pattern matching
• Create custom intermediate operations in Streams
• Create a main method without using “public static” keyword and not even define it inside a class.
• Perform concurrency in a structured way using Structured Concurrency
• Create thread level constants using Scoped Values
• Allow statements before super() and this() methods in constructors
• Import an entire module in your class using “import module” keyword

And few more …

A few of them are in preview mode and will soon be a permanent feature of Java.

This book breaks down the concepts and explains it in a simple way with examples.

This is helpful for Java developers to update themselves with the new features.
