One of the latest advancements, introduced in Java 14, is the <strong><a href="https://openjdk.org/jeps/359">Record</a></strong> class, a special type of class aimed at reducing boilerplate code for immutable data carriers. While records offer many advantages, they come with certain limitations, especially regarding immutability and extensibility. <strong>Froporec</strong>, a Java annotation processor, offers a robust solution to these issues by simplifying the migration from POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to records while also providing deep immutability and the ability to extend records in ways Java doesn&rsquo;t natively support.</p>
