[Request] Method Handle / Var Handle overview

No description provided.

@smthelusive

Hello,

@smthelusive would like to write an article on this subject. Natalia, if possible, can you please share an outline on what you plan to write?

Thank you

Hi Ana Maria,

I think it would be good to split it into two parts: one for Method Handles, and a separate one devoted to Var Handles.

For the Method Handles, I suggest this title: Introduction to Method Handles

Suggested outline:

What are Method Handles
Access checking
Method Handle lookup & invocation (might split it further into lookup and invocation subparts)
Accessing fields
Working with arrays
Method Handles vs Reflection
Conversion between Reflection API and Method Handles
Handling exceptions
Method Handle transformations

Please let me know if I can proceed with this or if there are any suggestions. Thanks!

Hi Natalia,

Sounds like a very good idea. And great outline :).

Great!

Hi @smthelusive was this ever worked on? Just going through open issues.

Hi @carimura, this is in progress. I'm intending to create a PR in the coming days.

The PR is ready for review 😊
