This enhancement leverages Java 16's pattern matching for instanceof to streamline and improve the readability of type checking and casting within the annotation processing method. By replacing explicit casting after instanceof checks with pattern variables, the code becomes more concise, readable, and less prone to errors.
Key Changes:
This update not only adopts the latest Java language features for better development practices but also sets a precedent for future code enhancements and refactoring efforts, promoting a more modern and efficient coding style within the project.
