Java 8 – How to convert Iterable to Stream

1. Introduction


In this article, You'll be learning how to convert Iterable to Stream API.

Iterable is an interface in java and a method spliterator() is added to in Java 8 release.

2. Convert Iterable to Stream in Java 8

Since the Iterable interface has a spliterator() method and it is easier to convert it into a Stream.

Iterable to Stream in Java 8

Syntax:

default Spliterator spliterator()

Creates a Spliterator over the elements described by this Iterable.

First of all, Let us create a List and can assign to the iterable.

Iterable<String> iterable = Arrays.asList("Iterable", "to", "Stream", "in", "Java 8");

Next,  Convert iterable to Stream using StreamSupport.stream() method and pass iterator.spliterator() to it.

Stream<String> stream = StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false);

3. Performing Stream Operations


Next, let us perform a simple Stream operation after converting Iterable to Stream with StreamSupport.stream() method.

package com.javaprogramto.java8.streams.iterable;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
import java.util.stream.StreamSupport;

public class IterableToStream {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Iterable<String> iterable = Arrays.asList("Iterable", "to", "Stream", "in", "Java 8");

        Stream<String> stream = StreamSupport.stream(iterable.spliterator(), false);

        List<String> list = stream.map(string -> string.toLowerCase()).collect(Collectors.toList());

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

    }
}

Output:

iterable

to

stream

in

java 8
