Java: Java Records

Records are less flexible for complex data.

Java Records are ideal for simple data structures but can be limiting for complex ones. Records are final and fields are immutable, so they are not suitable for cases where you need mutable state or inheritance. In scenarios where a DTO has complex logic or needs to be mutable, traditional classes might be a better fit. For example, if your e-commerce project requires a flexible product class with dynamic fields or behaviors, a traditional class might be preferred over a record.
