Functional Java: It’s good to be lazy

Functional Programming, Java, Reactive Application, , , , ,

Reading Time: 5 minutes In Java, we are often tempted towards writing a code which is executed eagerly. There’s a good reason for that – eager code is easy to write and to reason about. But delaying commitments until the last responsible moment is a good agile practice. When executing the code, we can gain performance by being just a little lazy.  In this blog, we will try to Continue Reading

Basics of Streams In Java8

Java,

Reading Time: 2 minutes Streams are introduced in java 8. It is defined in java.util.stream package. A stream is sequence of objects which supports various methods. That can be pipelined to produce the result. Features of Stream Stream is not a data structure. It takes input from various sources (like array, collection, data structure) performs an operation and gives output. It does not store element. It does not change Continue Reading

Concurrency API

Guide to Java 8 Concurrency API using Executors

Java, Scala, , , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes Working with the Thread class in Java can be very tedious and error-prone. Due to this reason, Concurrency API was introduced back in 2004 with the release of Java 5 and then enhanced with every new Java release.The API is located in package java.util.concurrent. It contains a set of classes that make it easier to develop concurrent (multithreaded) applications in Java.  The executor services are one of the most Continue Reading

Future vs CompletableFuture in Java- #2

Future, Java, ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes In our previous blog – Future vs CompletableFuture – #1, we compared Java 5’s Future with Java 8’s CompletableFuture on the basis of two categories i.e. manual completion and attaching a callable method. Now, we will be comparing them on the basis of next 3 categories i.e. Combining 2 CompletableFutures together Combining multiple CompletableFutures together Exception Handling Let’s have a look at each one of Continue Reading

Future vs CompletableFuture in Java – #1

Future, Java, ,

Reading Time: 4 minutes This is Part 1 of Future vs CompletableFuture. In this blog we will be comparing Java 5’s Future with Java 8’s CompletableFuture on the basis of two categories i.e. manual completion and attaching a callable method. What is CompletableFuture? CompletableFuture is used for asynchronous programming in Java. Asynchronous programming is a means of writing non-blocking code by running a task on a separate thread than Continue Reading

Rules while working with stream in Java 8

Java, Streaming, , , , , , , ,

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
