Description
Pattern matching for the `instanceof` operator has been made a final and permanent feature of the Java language in JDK 16. Pattern matching allows common logic in a Java program to be expressed more concisely and safely, namely the conditional extraction of components from objects. For further details, see [JEP 394](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/394).
