你不能只使用字节，short, char, int, String和枚举类型(以及原语的对象版本，这也取决于你的java版本，字符串可以在java 7中切换)

如果您想避免If (){} else If{}的冗长，您可以考虑将这个文件切换到kotlin，并将类似于开关的when表达式与is操作符结合使用。

在任何情况下，Kotlin和java文件都可以共存于一个项目中，并生成一个可以在JVM中运行的jar。

when (this) { //switch-like statement in kotlin supporting class-pattern-matching and smart casts via `is` operator.
    is A -> doA()
    is B -> doB()
    is C -> doC()
}

我知道这有点晚了，但对于未来的读者来说……

注意上面的方法，这些方法仅仅是基于A, B, C类的名称…：

除非你能保证A, B, C…(Base的所有子类或实现者)是final，然后A, B, C的子类…不会被处理。

即使if, elseif, elseif ..方法对于大量子类/实现者较慢，它更准确。

While it is not possible to write a switch statement, it is possible to branch out to specific processing for each given type. One way of doing this is to use standard double dispatch mechanism. An example where we want to "switch" based on type is Jersey Exception mapper where we need to map multitude of exceptions to error responses. While for this specific case there is probably a better way (i.e. using a polymorphic method that translates each exception to an error response), using double dispatch mechanism is still useful and practical.

interface Processable {
    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor);
}

interface Processor<R> {
    R process(final A a);
    R process(final B b);
    R process(final C c);
    // for each type of Processable
    ...
}

class A implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

class B implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

class C implements Processable {
    // other class logic here

    <R> R process(final Processor<R> processor){
        return processor.process(this);
    }
}

然后在任何需要“开关”的地方，你可以这样做:

public class LogProcessor implements Processor<String> {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.for(LogProcessor.class);

    public void logIt(final Processable base) {
        log.info("Logging for type {}", process(base));
    }

    // Processor methods, these are basically the effective "case" statements
    String process(final A a) {
        return "Stringifying A";
    }

    String process(final B b) {
        return "Stringifying B";
    }

    String process(final C c) {
        return "Stringifying C";
    }
}

从Java 17开始，您可以对开关表达式(预览特性)JEP-406使用模式匹配。

public void doAction(Object o) {
    return switch (o) {
        case A a -> doA(a);
        case B b -> doB(b);
        case C c -> doC(c);
        default -> log.warn("Unrecognized type of {}", o);
    };
}

防护模式也可用:

public void doAction(Object o) {
    return switch (o) {
        case String s && !s.isBlank() -> handle(s);
    };
}

你需要启用预览功能来使用它:java——enable-preview

你不能。switch语句只能包含case语句，case语句是编译时常量，计算结果为整数(最多Java 6和Java 7中的字符串)。

在函数式编程中，您要寻找的是所谓的“模式匹配”。
