Of the javax and java packages in the Java 8 JVM, there are roughly 10 static factory patterns in use. Here they are listed in the order they are preferred by this library 64 valueOf 7 new 6 decode 5 for 4 of 1 parse 1 from 1 create 1 compile 40 get Though get* has the second most usage in the JVM, it is also the least consistent and in classes that have multiple factories, it is the least preferred. For each of these prefixes there is a sub order of preference, using "create" as an example, this is the preferred usage: - create - create - create*
