Data is at the heart of most applications. For ages, Java developers have been using conditions to determine whether an instance is of a specific type - to extract its components. Though this sounds obvious and harmless, Pattern Matching has revolutionized how you achieve this in your everyday code in a concise and focused way. Working with its syntax seems simple and straightforward. Pattern Matching can be used with operators like instanceof, and constructs like switch statements and expressions. But, don't let this simplicity deceive you. Its real power lies in understanding the semantics of working with Patterns like Type Patterns, Parenthesized Patterns, Record Patterns and others to write declarative and data-focused code to create powerful, declarative and composable data navigation and processing. In this live-coded talk, the attendees will learn about the issues with their existing code, create concise and clear data-focused queries, and modify existing code bases to avail benefits of Pattern Matching.
