All the collection classes that are implemented use generics very heavily. As discussed in Chapter 2, Advanced Techniques and Reflection, generics provide the type of object that a collection contains. Every attempt to add another type of element generates a static analysis warning. Generics in collections have the following advantages:
- They help avoid class cast errors at runtime since we get the warnings during the static analysis time
- They make the code cleaner, as there is no need to use casting operators and conditions to check types
- They add to the runtime benefit only because the execution is done in the production mode. The code that is compiled to JavaScript does not check types and generics
