## Overview

This module provides APIs to create new Java array instances, get elements from arrays, set elements, etc. 

For information on the operations, which you can perform with the jballerina.java.arrays module, see the below **Functions**. 


Returns a Ballerina array for a handle that holds a Java array.
```ballerina
int[] array = <int[]> check arrays:fromHandle(arrayHandle, "int");
```



fromHandle

The `handle`, which refers to the Java array


array

handle

The `string` parameter provided to specify the Java array element type


jType

string

The optional `string` parameter provided to specify the Ballerina array element type


bType

Ballerina array `any[]|error` for the provided handle


error

Returns a `handle`, which refers to the element at the specified index in the given Java array. This function
completes abruptly with a `panic` if the specified handle refers to a Java null or if the handle does not refer
to a Java array.
```ballerina
handle words = getSortedArray();
handle firstWord = arrays:get(words, 0);
```



index

The `handle`, which refers to the element at the specified position in the Java array


Returns the length of the given Java array.
```ballerina
handle array = getArray();
int length = arrays:getLength(array);
```



getLength

Returns a new Java array instance with the specified element type and dimensions. This function completes abruptly
with a `panic` if the specified handle refers to a Java null or if zero dimensions have been provided.
```ballerina
handle stringClass = check java:getClass("java.lang.String");
handle StrArray = arrays:newInstance(stringClass, 4);
```



newInstance

classType

dimensions

Replaces the indexed element at the specified index in the given Java array with the specified element. This
function completes abruptly with a `panic` if the specified handle refers to a Java null or if the handle does
not refer to a Java array.
```ballerina
handle strArray = getStringArray();
arrays:set(strArray, 0, java:fromString("Ballerina"));
```



The element to be stored at the specified index


element

Returns a handle value representation for a Ballerina array.
```ballerina
handle handleValue = check arrays:toHandle(array, "char");
```



toHandle

Ballerina array which is to be converted to a handle reference


Java class name or the primitive type of the array elements referenced by the handle
