# Why use AutoValue?
|
|
|
|
|
|
AutoValue is the only solution to the value class problem in Java having all of
|
|
the following characteristics:
|
|
|
|
* **API-invisible** (callers cannot become dependent on your choice to use it)
|
|
* No runtime dependencies
|
|
* Negligible cost to performance
|
|
* Very few limitations on what your class can do
|
|
* Extralinguistic "magic" kept to an absolute minimum (uses only standard Java
|
|
platform technologies, in the manner they were intended)
|
|
|
|
This
|
|
[slide presentation] compares AutoValue to numerous alternatives and explains
|
|
why we think it is better.
