How does immutability benefit value objects?

Topic: Modern Java

Java: Value Objects
Answer
Immutability ensures that value objects remain consistent and thread-safe.
Immutability means that once created, the state of a value object cannot change. This ensures that it is inherently thread-safe, as concurrent threads cannot alter its state. For instance, a Currency value object in a financial application should be immutable to prevent accidental modification.
