Each such collection has a well-defined first element, second element, and so forth, up to the last element. It also provides uniform APIs for accessing its first and last elements, and for processing its elements in reverse order. A JEP in the Candidate state is a feature deemed worthy of consideration by the JDK Project, but with no commitment to deliver the feature in any particular release of the JDK Project. Later, the JEP may be moved to the Targeted state, which indicates that the feature is expected to appear in a specific release of the JDK Project. For more information about states, see the JEP Process document: https://openjdk.org/jeps/1 A JEP with "SE" scope that reaches the Targeted state will be listed in the Specification of the Java SE Platform JSR which corresponds to the targeted JDK Project release. A dashboard that lists JEPs with "SE" scope may be found via a link on this page: https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/20/spec/ Thanks, Iris From iris.clark at oracle.com Tue Oct 18 17:08:51 2022 From: iris.clark at oracle.com (Iris Clark) Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 17:08:51 +0000 Subject: New Candidate JEP: 432: Record Patterns (Second Preview) Message-ID: The following JEP with scope "SE" has been moved to the Candidate state: 432: Record Patterns (Second Preview) https://openjdk.org/jeps/432 Summary: Enhance the Java programming language with record patterns to deconstruct record values. Record patterns and type patterns can be nested to enable a powerful, declarative, and composable form of data navigation and processing. This is a preview language feature.

Extending pattern matching to switch allows an expression to be tested against a number of patterns, each with a specific action, so that complex data-oriented queries can be expressed concisely and safely.
