StableValue<T> is not part of the Java Standard Library but represents a design pattern or custom utility used to capture and work with values that do not change once initialized—often as a wrapper to enforce immutability and predictability in code.


Scenarios


Sample Usage

public final class StableValue<T> {
    private final T value;

    public StableValue(T value) {
        this.value = value;
    }

    public T get() {
        return value;
    }
}

// Usage
StableValue<String> apiKey = new StableValue<>("ABC123");
System.out.println(apiKey.get());  // "ABC123"

Or using record (Java 16+):

public record StableValue<T>(T value) { }

// Usage
StableValue<Integer> maxConnections = new StableValue<>(10);
System.out.println(maxConnections.value()); // 10

This utility encourages safer design by limiting change and clarifying intent in your code.
