A Java library that backports the Java 8 Stream API, functional interfaces, and Optional classes to Java 7 and below, implemented on iterators. It adds extra operators like filterNot, select, and custom unary operators beyond the standard API.

Use cases

  • use Java 8 streams on Android with old Java versions
  • backport Stream API to Java 7 projects
  • use Optional and functional interfaces without Java 8
  • apply custom stream operators like reverse
  • chain filter map sorted forEach on legacy JVM

When to choose

  • you're stuck on Java 7 or an old Android API level but want stream-style code
  • you need custom stream operators not available in Java 8 streams

When to avoid

  • you're on Java 8+ and can use the built-in Stream API
  • you need parallel stream processing
