Records are just a way to create data classes
with less typing.

You can use them just like the equivalent manually created
data classes.

But there are two caveats:
1) they are immutable (only getter, no setter)
2) the getter does not follow Java bean convention - it is
    .xxxx() not .getXxxx()

That may work or may not work with what you need from
your model classes.
