Java 8 POC - Proof of Concept

Key Features and Examples

1. Functional Interfaces:

Functional interfaces are interfaces with a single abstract method.

Example: java.util.function package.

Code Example:

@FunctionalInterface

interface MyFunctionalInterface {

void execute();

MyFunctionalInterface example = () -> System.out.println("Hello, Java 8!");

2. Lambda Expressions:

Lambdas provide a clear and concise way to represent a method interface.

Code Example:

List<String> list = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C");

list.forEach(item -> System.out.println(item));

3. Stream API:

Stream API is used to process collections of objects in a functional style.

Code Example:

List<Integer> numbers = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);


List<Integer> evenNumbers = numbers.stream()

.filter(n -> n % 2 == 0)

.collect(Collectors.toList());

4. Optional Class:

Optional is a container object that may or may not contain a non-null value.

Code Example:

Optional<String> optional = Optional.ofNullable("Hello");

optional.ifPresent(System.out::println);

5. Method References:

Method references are a shorthand for lambda expressions.

Code Example:

List<String> names = Arrays.asList("John", "Jane", "Jake");

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

6. Default Methods in Interfaces:

Java 8 allows default method implementations in interfaces.

Code Example:

interface MyInterface {

default void defaultMethod() {

System.out.println("Default Method in Interface");

}
7. Date and Time API:

Java 8 introduced a new date and time API in java.time package.

Code Example:

LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();

LocalTime time = LocalTime.now();

LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();

8. Nashorn JavaScript Engine:

Allows running JavaScript code directly from Java.

Code Example:

ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn");

engine.eval("print('Hello from Nashorn');");
