The optional class is introduced to avoid NullPointerException that we frequently encounters if we do not perform null checks in our code. Using this class we can easily check whether a variable has null value or not and by doing this we can avoid the NullPointerException.
Advantages of Java 8 Optional:
Null checks are not required.
No more NullPointerException at run-time.
We can develop clean and neat APIs.
No more Boiler plate code
