Java 9 - The new things

The new version Java9 is planned to be available next year.

The main feature of Java9 is related with modularity (project Jigsaw). This feature is about having different modules for the JDK. This new feature will allow to install JDK in small devices (internet of things, cloud, mobile...), also will improve scalability and performance.


Other new features that Java9 is likely to include are:

  • JSON API
  • HTTP2 API (WebSockets support)
  • JVM Optimization
  • Money and currency API

This diagram represents how the language has been evolving from Java7:
