Answer
MethodHandles are faster and more secure than reflection.
MethodHandles provide a more performant and fine-grained way to invoke methods compared to reflection. They avoid the performance overhead of reflective method invocations and offer better security by respecting method visibility. In performance-critical applications, using MethodHandles can significantly reduce execution time.
