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.

The benefits of using JSON

There are several benefits of using JSON when you are creating large-scale applications that are based on Java. These are the applications that often require the parsing of data from different sources. If your application needs to access cloud data and often create information that needs to be shared, the best way to go about it is to use the relevant JSON objects.

Another amazing thing about the JSON structure is that it finds support in all modern programming languages. This means that it adds productivity and the reflexes that you need in your application when the times modernize and your data structures need to stay relevant for the years to come. Using JSON ensures that you would have the relevant support regardless of dealing with any application of choice.

Another benefit is when creating mobile applications. Mobile phones are limited by the available...
