<ul><li>The Stable Values API in Java 25 allows developers to define immutable objects initialized at most once, combining lazy initialization flexibility with the performance benefits of final fields.</li><li>Per Minborg, member of the Java Core Library team at Oracle and co-author of JEP 502, discusses how Stable Values improve application startup efficiency by deferring the creation of expensive resources until needed, addressing the limitations of eager initialization in Java.</li><li>Stable Values can be advantageous in multi-threaded environments, offering thread-safe, at-most-once initialization without the complexity of traditional synchronization mechanisms.</li><li>For more insights, refer to resources like JEP 502, A Sneak Peek at StableValue and SegmentMapper, and Stable Values in Java 25 - Inside Java Newscast #88.</li></ul>
