Use Cases: JSON and SQL
Embed structured text cleanly.
Where Text Blocks Shine
Text blocks are perfect for embedding structured text like JSON, SQL, HTML, and XML. These formats use lots of quotes and line breaks that are painful with ordinary strings.
Embedding JSON
JSON is full of double quotes. In a text block they need no escaping, so the literal looks exactly like real JSON.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String json = """
{
"name": "Alice",
"age": 30,
"active": true
}
""";
System.out.print(json);
}
