Java: What is the difference between Records and Classes in Java?

1public record Point(int x, int y) {}
2
3// Compact canonical constructor
4public record Point(int x, int y) {
5    public Point {
6        if (x < 0 || y < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException();
7    }
8}
9
10// Usage
11Point p = new Point(3, 4);
12System.out.println(p);  // Point[x=3, y=4]
13System.out.println(p.x());  // 3
14System.out.println(p.y());  // 4

1public class Person {
2    private final String name;
3    private int age;  // mutable
4
5    public Person(String name, int age) {
6        this.name = name;
7        this.age = age;
8    }
9
10    public String getName() { return name; }
11    public int getAge() { return age; }
12    public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; }
13
14    @Override
15    public boolean equals(Object o) {
16        if (this == o) return true;
17        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
18        Person person = (Person) o;
19        return age == person.age && Objects.equals(name, person.name);
20    }
21
22    @Override
23    public int hashCode() {
24        return Objects.hash(name, age);
25    }
26}
