Why it should remove unused equals and hashcode? Are you sure you don’t use/plan your data class with hash collection?

[Sangeet]

hashCode and equals are used incase of HashMap etc. But my question was why data class is recommended over class for responses

[ursus]

because its a value type not logic

[Eugen Martynov]

you can use normal class instead of data class, just make properties immutable

[ursus]

sure but why, id argue thats not a value type then, value types should have no identity, just equality
