The Java 8 Stream API is one of the most powerful features introduced in Java 8. It provides a functional and declarative way to process collections efficiently. Unlike traditional loops, streams enable lazy evaluation, parallel execution, and concise code.

In this guide, we will explore real-world use cases of the Java Stream API with practical examples.

🔹 What is Java Stream API?

A Stream is a sequence of elements supporting aggregate operations like filtering, mapping, and reducing. Streams do not modify the original collection; instead, they create a new transformed version.

Supports functional programming (using lambdas)
Lazy evaluation (processes elements only when needed)
Parallel execution (parallelStream())
Works with Collections, Arrays, Files, and I/O
