Summary

The CompletionStage API in Java 8 provides a powerful tool for defining complex asynchronous processes, allowing developers to handle the asynchronous behavior themselves. The Twilio Java Helper Library now uses this feature in its latest version, which is recommended for users of the library. This API enables the creation of pipelines of asynchronous operations and can be used to chain computation sequentially or execute code in parallel. It also provides methods for handling errors and exceptions, such as .handle(), allowing developers to recover from failures and continue with their application. The CompletionStage API offers flexibility and is an essential addition to the latest Twilio Java Helper Library.
