objects

The Java Objects class is a utility class introduced in Java 7 and expanded in Java 8 to provide a collection of static methods to help operating on Java objects. It has null-safe and null-tolerant methods for computing the hash code of an object, returning a string for an object, comparing two objects, null checking and more.

According to Brian Goetz (Oracle’s architect for the Java language), its features are also being introduced into the core of the language, so there is a chance the Objects class becomes more popular in the years that are coming.

That said, we are about to explore how to work with the Objects class.
