= Safe Navigation Operator
|
||||
|
||||
The safe navigation operator is used to avoid a `NullPointerException` and comes from
|
||||
the https://www.groovy-lang.org/operators.html#_safe_navigation_operator[Groovy]
|
||||
language. Typically, when you have a reference to an object, you might need to verify that
|
||||
it is not null before accessing methods or properties of the object. To avoid this, the
|
||||
safe navigation operator returns null instead of throwing an exception. The following
|
||||
example shows how to use the safe navigation operator:
|
||||
The safe navigation operator (`?`) is used to avoid a `NullPointerException` and comes
|
||||
from the https://www.groovy-lang.org/operators.html#_safe_navigation_operator[Groovy]
|
||||
language. Typically, when you have a reference to an object, you might need to verify
|
||||
that it is not `null` before accessing methods or properties of the object. To avoid
|
||||
this, the safe navigation operator returns `null` instead of throwing an exception.

The following example shows how to use the safe navigation operator for property access

(`?.`).
