Stream API

As a Java developer, one of the most


powerful tools in my arsenal is the Java
Stream API. It revolutionizes the way we
handle data processing by providing a
clean, efficient, and readable way to work
with collections and other data sources.
What is the Stream
API?

The Stream API, introduced in Java 8,


allows us to perform functional-style
operations on streams of elements. It
enables us to write concise, readable,
and declarative code for processing
sequences of elements.
💡 Key Features:

Functional Programming: Embrace the functional


programming paradigm with operations like map, filter, and
reduce.
Lazy Evaluation: Streams are processed lazily, meaning
operations are only executed when necessary, optimizing
performance.
Parallel Processing: Easily parallelize operations to take full
advantage of multi-core processors using parallelStream().
Pipelines: Chain multiple operations to create a processing
pipeline, improving code readability and maintainability.
Common Operations:

map: Transform each element of the stream.

filter: Select elements based on a condition.

sorted: Sort elements.

collect: Accumulate the elements into a collection or other


data structure.

forEach: Perform an action for each element.


map(value -> operaton on value)
Transform each element of the stream.

Explanation:
The map operation applies the function n -> n * n to
each element in the list, transforming each number to
its square.
filter(value -> condition)
Select elements based on a condition.

Explanation:
The filter operation retains only those elements that
satisfy the condition name -> name.startsWith("A").
sorted
Sort elements.

Explanation:
The sorted operation sorts the stream elements in
natural order (alphabetical order for strings).
forEach (element -> something todo)
Perform an action for each element.

Explanation:
The forEach operation performs the specified action
(System.out.println(name)) on each element of the
stream.
collect
Accumulate the elements into a collection or other
data structure.

Explanation:
The collect operation accumulates the elements of the
stream into a specified collection, here a Set.

🔗 Combining Operations:
Let's combine multiple operations to demonstrate the
power of Stream API:

Explanation:
This example filters names starting with 'A', converts
them to uppercase, sorts them, and collects them into
a list. The combination of operations in a single
pipeline showcases the expressiveness and power of
the Stream API.
Why Use Stream API?

Readability: Stream API makes code more readable


and concise.
Efficiency: Optimizes performance with lazy
evaluation and parallel processing.
Maintainability: Simplifies complex data processing
tasks.
