Java 11 and 12 – New Features

Rewriting using raw strings

You can define a multiline string value by using raw literals, as follows:

String html =  
`<HTML>                                      
    <BODY> 
        <H1>Meaning of life</H1>  
    </BODY> 
</HTML> 
`; 

By using ` as the opening and closing delimiter, you can define multiline string literals with ease and elegance.

The preceding code is free from Java indicators (concatenation operators or escape sequences).
