StackWalker in Java9

Reading Time: 2 minutes StackWalker was introduced in JDK9 as Stack Walking API or JEP-259.  StackWalker gives the snapshot of the stack trace of the current thread at any given point of time and has methods to walk over it. Now, we can easily filter out the information required, sort them and perform almost all the stream operations provided by Java.

Jshell : Java REPL

Reading Time: 3 minutes A good programmer is always lazy when it comes to writing the code. They always try to complete their functionality in minimum lines of code. The same thing is expected by them when it comes to debugging or learning new features. In order to fulfill this requirement, almost every programming language has a REPL, a tool which has proved to be of great importance, especially for Continue Reading

JPMS in Java9

Reading Time: 4 minutes Java Platform Modular System is commonly known as JPMS. The concept of JPMS i.e. Java Platform Module System came in Java 9. Its development was first started in 2005 and finally in 2017, this concept came under the project named Jigsaw. Until Java 8, we used jar files, but from Java 9 onwards, we will be using modules. Modularity is the basic rule of good Continue Reading

Rules while working with stream in Java 8

Reading Time: 3 minutes First, let’s have a basic understanding of stream. Then we will have a look at the side effects that can occur while working with streams. Streams represent a sequence of objects from a source, which supports aggregate operations. One thing to be notified while working with streams  is that, aggregate operation (intermediate operations) are lazy evaluated i.e. they do not start processing the content of Continue Reading
