How to Filter a Collection Using Streams in Java?

  • Java 8 introduced the Stream API for functional-style operations on collections.
  • Java streams are a sequence of elements supporting parallel and functional-style operations.
  • To filter a collection using streams, create a stream with the stream() method from List, Set, or Map.
  • Use the filter() method with a predicate to specify conditions for filtering elements.
  • Filter a list of Person objects by age using streams and collect the filtered results.
  • Chaining multiple filter() operations or combining conditions within a single filter() is possible.

  • Best practices involve using meaningful variable names and profiling code.
  • Common use cases for streams include data processing pipelines and validation.
