Java 9 Features
Java 9 has been the hot topic of discussion in the Java community since the OpenJDK JDK 9 Project was announced. Long-awaited Java modularity (Project Jigsaw, which was booted from JDK 8) is probably the largest new feature anticipated for Java 9. Paul Krill writes in Why developers should get excited about Java 9 that "Jigsaw isn't the only new addition slated for Java 9. Support for the popular JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data interchange format is key feature as well, along with process API, code cache, and locking improvements. The six JEPs currently proposed on that OpenJDK JDK 9 page are 102 (Process API Updates), 143 (Improve Contended Locking), 197 (Segmented Code Cache), 198 (Light-Weight JSON API), 199 (Smart Java Compilation, Phase 2), and 201 (Modular Source Code).
