Suggests replacing classes with records. The inspection could be useful if you need to focus on modeling immutable data rather than extensible behavior. Automatic implementation of data-driven methods such as equals and accessors helps to get rid of boilerplate.

Note that not every class can be a record. Here are some of the restrictions:

To get a full list of the restrictions refer to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se15/preview/specs/records-jls.html.

Example:

  class Point {
    private final double x;
    private final double y;

    Point(double x, double y) {
      this.x = x;
      this.y = y;
    }

    double getX() {
      return x;
    }

    double getY() {
      return y;
    }
  }
This record will be converted to:
  record Point(int x, int y) {
  }

This inspection only applies to language level 14 preview and higher.
