‭1. Lambda Expressions

‭● ‭ escription: Lambda expressions allow you to write concise and flexible code by
D
‭providing a way to express instances of single-method interfaces (functional interfaces)
‭in a more compact form.
‭● ‭Syntax:‬‭(parameters) -> expression‬‭or‬‭(parameters)‬‭-> { statements }

‭Example:‬

‭2. Functional Interfaces

‭● ‭ escription: A functional interface is an interface with exactly one abstract method. Java
D
‭8 introduced the‬‭@FunctionalInterface‬‭annotation to‬‭ensure that an interface meets this
‭condition.

‭Example:‬

‭3. Streams API

‭● ‭ escription: The Streams API allows you to process sequences of elements (such as
D
‭collections) in a functional style. It supports operations such as filtering, mapping, and
‭reducing.

‭Example:‬
‭4. Default Methods

‭● ‭ escription: Interfaces can now have default methods with a body. This allows you to add
D
‭new methods to interfaces without affecting the classes that implement the interface.

‭Example:‬

‭5. Static Methods in Interfaces

‭● ‭ escription: Java 8 allows interfaces to have static methods. These methods belong to
D
‭the interface itself, not to instances of classes implementing the interface.

‭Example:‬

‭6. Method References

‭● ‭ escription: Method references provide a way to refer to methods or constructors


D
‭directly using their names. They can be used to simplify lambda expressions.
‭● ‭Syntax:‬‭ClassName::methodName

‭Example:‬
‭7. Optional Class

‭● ‭ escription: The‬‭Optional‬‭class is a container object‬‭which may or may not contain a


D
‭value. It is used to avoid null references and to represent the presence or absence of a
‭value.

‭Example:‬

‭8. New Date and Time API

‭● ‭ escription: Java 8 introduced a new Date and Time API in‬‭java.time‬‭package, which is
D
‭more comprehensive and user-friendly compared to the old‬‭java.util.Date‬‭and
‭java.util.Calendar‬‭classes.

‭Example:‬

‭9. Nashorn JavaScript Engine

‭● ‭ escription: Nashorn is a new JavaScript engine that replaces the older Rhino engine. It
D
‭provides better performance and compliance with the JavaScript standard.

‭Example:‬
‭10. Parallel Streams

‭● ‭ escription: The Streams API supports parallel processing of data, allowing for
D
‭concurrent execution of operations on data streams.

‭Example:‬

‭11. CompletableFuture

‭● ‭ escription:‬‭CompletableFuture‬‭is part of the‬‭java.util.concurrent‬‭package and provides


D
‭a way to write asynchronous, non-blocking code. It supports a variety of methods for
‭combining and managing asynchronous tasks.

‭Example:‬

‭12. New Functional Interfaces in java.util.function

‭● ‭ escription: Java 8 introduced several new functional interfaces in the‬‭java.util.function


D
‭package, such as‬‭Function‬‭,‬‭Predicate‬‭,‬‭Consumer‬‭,‬‭Supplier‬‭,‬‭and others, which facilitate
‭functional programming.

‭Example:‬
