    Java SE 7 introduced several language enhancements, API updates, and JVM improvements aimed at making code more concise, secure, and performant.

    1. Language Enhancements

    • Strings in switch: Allowed String objects in switch statements for cleaner conditional logic.

    • Binary Literals: Support for binary number representation using 0b or 0B.

    • Underscores in Numeric Literals: Improved readability of large numbers, e.g., 1_000_000.

    • Multi-Catch Exceptions: Catch multiple exception types in a single catch block using |.

    • Try-with-Resources (ARM): Automatic resource management for objects implementing AutoCloseable.

    • Improved Type Inference: Diamond operator (<>) for generic instance creation.

    Example:

    try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"))) {
    System.out.println(br.readLine());
    } catch (IOException | SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
