8 Ways of Creating a Stream in Java 8

1. Empty Stream

The empty() method should be used in case of a creation of an empty stream:

2. From Collections

Stream can be created of any type of Collection (Collection, List, Set):

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.Arrays;

import java.util.Collection;

import java.util.HashSet;

import java.util.List;

import java.util.Set;

import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class StreamCreationExamples {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

Collection<String> collection = Arrays.asList("JAVA", "J2EE", "Spring", "Hibernate");

Stream<String> stream2 = collection.stream();

stream2.forEach(System.out::println);

List<String> list = Arrays.asList("JAVA", "J2EE", "Spring", "Hibernate");

Stream<String> stream3 = list.stream();

stream3.forEach(System.out::println);

Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list);

Stream<String> stream4 = set.stream();

stream4.forEach(System.out::println);

}
3. From Arrays

Array can be a source of a Stream or Array can be created from existing array or of a part of an
array:

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.Arrays;

import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class StreamCreationExamples {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

// Array can also be a source of a Stream

Stream<String> streamOfArray = Stream.of("a", "b", "c");

streamOfArray.forEach(System.out::println);

// creating from existing array or of a part of an array:

String[] arr = new String[] { "a", "b", "c" };

Stream<String> streamOfArrayFull = Arrays.stream(arr);

streamOfArrayFull.forEach(System.out::println);

Stream<String> streamOfArrayPart = Arrays.stream(arr, 1, 3);


streamOfArrayPart.forEach(System.out::println);

4. From Stream.builder()

When a builder is used the desired type should be additionally specified in the right part of the
statement, otherwise, the build() method will create an instance of the Stream:

5. From Stream.generate()
6. From Stream.iterate()

Stream of Primitives

As Stream is a generic interface and there is no way to use primitives as a type parameter with
generics, three new special interfaces were created: IntStream, LongStream, DoubleStream.

Using the new interfaces alleviates unnecessary auto-boxing allows increased productivity:
