1 Lambda Expressions
Lambda expressions enable
functional programming in
Java, making code concise
and expressive.
💡Reduces boilerplate code
and enhances readability.
2 Streams API
Streams API allows processing
collections of data in a
declarative, functional style.
💡Simplifies data processing
with built-in support for
parallelism.
3 Functional Interfaces
Functional Interfaces have a
single abstract method (SAM)
and support lambda
expressions.
✔ Examples: Predicate,
Consumer, Function.
Default and Static
4
Methods in Interfaces
Now, interfaces can have
default and static methods
with implementations.
💡Enhances backward
compatibility and adds
flexibility to interfaces.
5 Optional Class
Avoid NullPointerException by
handling nulls explicitly with
Optional.
💡Reduces null-check
boilerplate and improves
code safety.
New Date and Time
6
API
Replaces the old java.util.Date
and Calendar with a robust API
under java.time.
💡Simplifies date and time
operations with better API
design.
Nashorn JavaScript
7
Engine
Integrates JavaScript execution
within Java applications.
💡Enables JavaScript
execution alongside Java.
8 Method References
A cleaner and concise way to
refer to methods directly using
'::'.
💡Reduces verbosity in
functional programming.
9 Try-With-Resources
Simplifies resource
management by auto-closing
resources.
💡Reduces the risk of resource
leaks.
10 Collectors Class
Introduces a utility for
aggregating data from
streams.
Enhanced
11
Annotations
Allows repeating annotations
and improved annotation
flexibility.
