Text Blocks are a modern Java feature that makes it easier to write multi-line strings. They are especially useful for HTML, SQL, JSON, and formatted text.

A text block starts and ends with three double quotes. The content inside is treated as a multi-line string.

// Basic syntax of a Java text block
String message = """
Hello World
Welcome to Java Text Blocks
Enjoy clean multi-line strings
""";

// ❌ The Messy Way: Escaping Hell
String json = "{\n" +
              "  \"name\": \"John\",\n" +
              "  \"age\": 30,\n" +
              "  \"city\": \"New York\"\n" +
              "}";

  {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
  }
