Library Tracker: Book Records (JavaBasics_Task_389_V0.1)

📖 Description

In data-oriented applications, managing object states efficiently is crucial. This project demonstrates the implementation of a Java Record to act as a simple data carrier for book information. By using the record keyword, we leverage built-in immutability and automatic accessor methods. This approach simplifies the code and ensures that each book entry remains consistent throughout the application's lifecycle.

📋 Requirements Compliance

• Data Carrier: Defined a Book record to encapsulate title and author.
• Immutability: Utilized the record's final nature to protect data integrity.
• Accessor Usage: Used generated methods title() and author() for data retrieval.

🚀 Architectural Stack

• Java 16+ (Records)

🏗️ Implementation Details

• Book: A record representing a single library entry.
• LibraryApp: The main entry point for creating and verifying book data.

📋 Expected result

Title: Effective Java
Author: Joshua Bloch
