What are Collection related features in Java 8?

Java 8 has brought major changes in the Collection API. Some of the changes are:

1.Java Stream API for collection classes for supporting sequential as well as parallel processing

Collection.java 接口新增如下方法
   default Stream<E> stream() {
        return StreamSupport.stream(spliterator(), false);
    }
    default Stream<E> parallelStream() {
        return StreamSupport.stream(spliterator(), true);
    }

2.Iterable interface is extended with forEach() default method that we can use to iterate over a collection. It is very helpful when used with lambda expressions because it’s argument Consumer is a function interface.

Iterable接口新增如下方法
default void forEach(Consumer<? super T> action) {
        Objects.requireNonNull(action);
        for (T t : this) {
            action.accept(t);
        }
    }

3.Miscellaneous Collection API improvements such as forEachRemaining(Consumer action) method in Iterator interface, Map replaceAll(), compute(), merge() methods.

Iterator 迭代器通过 forEachRemaining()方法实现增强for循环.

public static void test(List<String> list) {
 list.iterator().forEachRemaining(str->{
  System.out.println(str);
 });
}
