Java 9 High Performance

By: Mayur Ramgir, Nick Samoylov

Overview of this book

Finally, a book that focuses on the practicalities rather than theory of Java application performance tuning. This book will be your one-stop guide to optimize the performance of your Java applications. We will begin by understanding the new features and APIs of Java 9. You will then be taught the practicalities of Java application performance tuning, how to make the best use of garbage collector, and find out how to optimize code with microbenchmarking. Moving ahead, you will be introduced to multithreading and learning about concurrent programming with Java 9 to build highly concurrent and efficient applications. You will learn how to fine tune your Java code for best results. You will discover techniques on how to benchmark performance and reduce various bottlenecks in your applications. We'll also cover best practices of Java programming that will help you improve the quality of your codebase. By the end of the book, you will be armed with the knowledge to build and deploy efficient, scalable, and concurrent applications in Java.

A brief history of JSON and examples

Understanding the history of JSON is essential in terms of identifying why it is the top format used in the online world for transferring information online. The JSON generation is now the top method and is almost unanimously used for data transfers in place of the older XML format.

It generates a text file format, which allows it to easily work with an automated program, as well as provide information on manual queries. It is truly a lightweight tool in this regard, which makes it easier to use and convert to different formats and online platforms.

We understand that JSON is a means to exchange data in an orderly manner and allow it to use different databases, such as SQL, which can be supported through a Java program. A JSON-generational tool also allows the importing and exporting of data from proprietary web applications that have otherwise...
