With Java 15 still hot and fresh, Java 16 was released on time on March 16, which is also the last minor version update before the next LTS version, Java17. Whether you are using Java11, Java11+ versions, or even Java8, it is necessary to know the new features, many of which will appear in Java17. I believe that many companies will upgrade their internal Java standard version to Java 17.

Cutting the nonsense, let’s take a look at the new features Java16 brings.

17 New Features

What? 17 new major features in one version! A crazy update speed that people can hardly catch up with. 🚀

Download and install JDK16 first, then we can understand the 17 features quickly with interesting examples and practice.
