Modern languages don’t do checked exceptions. But you don’t have to jump ship to share the experience. In this article Scott McKinney shows you how to stick with Java and completely neutralize checked exceptions with a simple new addition to the Manifold framework.
Discover how to build multiple targets from a single Java codebase using the new preprocessor from the Manifold project. In this article Scott McKinney explains how the preprocessor plugs directly into Java’s compiler to provide seamless conditional compilation using familiar directives.
Do you struggle when using reflection code? In itself, reflection code is not type-safe, which can cause problems down the road. There must be a better alternative! You can maintain type-safety with @Jailbreak from the Manifold project and rest assured that your code is efficient.
Discover how to use Manifold to enable JSON Schema as your REST API single source of truth (SSoT). Scott McKinney explains how the new Manifold framework connects your JSON Schema and YAML resources directly to Java without code generators, annotated POJOs, or other go-betweens.
This is the second part in a series of articles covering Manifold, a unique, open source technology you can use in any Java project to enable cutting-edge language features such as type-safe metaprogramming, extension methods, templating, and structural typing. In this segment, Scott McKinney discusses Extension Classes, an innovative feature that enables you to supplement a class with your own methods, interfaces, and other features.
This is the first in a series of articles covering Manifold, a unique, open source technology you can use in any Java project to enable cutting edge language features such as type-safe metaprogramming, extension methods, templating, and structural typing. In this segment, Scott McKinney discusses Manifold’s reinvention of code generators, namely Type Manifolds.
Manifold is out of this world: this framework allows developers to dynamically and seamlessly extend Java’s type system. In this article, Scott McKinney explores how the Manifold framework makes Java development more appealing and productive.
