In Java, a record is a special type of class declaration aimed at reducing the boilerplate code. Java records were introduced with the intention to be used as a fast way to create data carrier classes, i.e. the classes whose objective is to simply contain data and carry it between modules, also known as POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) and DTOs (Data Transfer Objects). Record was introduced in Java SE 14 as a preview feature. Let us first see a simple Record and equivalent class. public record AuthTokenRecord(String token, LocalDateTime dateExpiary) { public AuthTokenRecord { if (token == "" || token == null) throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(String.format("Invalid token: %f", token)); } } The above record is equivalent to the following class definition. public final class AuthTokenClass ...
