Answer from AI

CopyOnWriteArrayList is suitable for use in multithreaded programs where:

  • Read operations from the list are performed frequently.
  • Modification operations (adding, removing elements) are infrequent.

This class implements a strategy of copying the array upon each modification, which ensures safe iteration without locks.

Example usage: cache, event listener list, where multiple threads read data, and modifications occur rarely.
