Take your coding to the next level by learning advanced programming with generics. Here's how to use generic methods with type inference, type parameters, and wildcards in your Java programs.

Generics are commonly used in the Java Collections Framework, but they can also be used with code elements such as Class, Comparable, and ThreadLocal. Generics enhance type safety by preventing ...

The Collections Framework relies on a set of abstract data structures represented by interfaces that describe them based on the operations they support, from the most generic to the most specialized.

Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 5 introduced a new feature called generics that lets you specify the type of objects in collections.

Apache Collections supports generics, so that's not a reason to choose one over the other. If the collections you need are available in it, I'd probably lean towards Guava, though.

Generics can solve many more problems than collections. Use generics to write code once and reuse it more easily.

The project's goals include a major overhaul of Java's generics, a new approach to generic typing, and new support for value types.
