Handle null directly as a switch case — no separate guard needed.

✕ Java 8
// Must check before switch
if (status == null) {
    return "unknown";
}
return switch (status) {
    case ACTIVE  -> "active";
    case PAUSED  -> "paused";
    default      -> "other";
};
✓ Java 21+
return switch (status) {
    case null    -> "unknown";
    case ACTIVE  -> "active";
    case PAUSED  -> "paused";
    default      -> "other";
};

Null case in switch
Dostępne

Widely available since JDK 21 LTS (Sept 2023)

Pattern matching switch can match null as a case label. This eliminates the need for a null check before the switch and makes null handling explicit and visible.
