What’s New in Java SE 24: Features You Should Know

JEP 456: Record Patterns continue to evolve, now in their second preview. This feature improves pattern matching by allowing deconstruction of record values directly in pattern matching expressions.

Why it matters:

  • Combines well with instanceof checks.
  • Makes code more readable and concise.
if (obj instanceof Point(int x, int y)) {
    System.out.println("X: " + x + ", Y: " + y);
}
