Transforming Data Using the Functional APIs of Java

Abstract

The power of Java's functional programming goes far beyond lambdas and the filter, map of the Stream API. In this presentation we will look at various data transformations and see how the functional APIs in the JDK can provide concise solutions for these.

We will start with the Stream's API and quickly dive into some newer functions and also the utilities of the Collectors. Along the way you will get a deeper understanding of some of the excellent functions that are hidden in plain sight.
