Java 8 – Convert Stream to TreeMap

February 6, 2022 SJ Collection, Java 8 0

In this article, we will discuss how to convert Stream into a TreeMap in Java 1.8 version using Stream API

Stream to TreeMap :

Using Collectors.toMap() method, we can convert Stream into a Map. There are 2 variants of Collectors.toMap() method,

  1. Collectors.toMap(keyMapper, valueMapper, mergeFunction)
  2. Collectors.toMap(keyMapper, valueMapper, mergeFunction, supplier)

1. Using Collectors.toMap(keyMapper, valueMapper, mergeFunction)

  • First variant of Collectors.toMap() method accepts 3 input-arguments
    1. Key mapper – mapping function to produce keys
    2. Value mapper – mapping function to produce values
    3. Merge Function – this is used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key
  • Above method helps to convert Stream into Map
  • For converting into TreeMap, create TreeMap object and pass above obtained Map as constructor-argument
  • TreeMap stores Key-Value pairs according to sorting order of Keys
  • Finally, print converted TreeMap pairs to console

StreamToMapUsingCollectorsToMap.java

package net.bench.resources.stream.to.treemap;

import java.util.TreeMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class StreamToMapUsingCollectorsToMap {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// 1. Stream of String tokens
		Stream<String> nameStream = Stream.of(
				"Rajiv",
				"Anbu",
				"Santosh",
				"Abdul",
				"Lingaraj"
				);


		// 2. convert Stream<String> to Map<String, Integer>
		Map<String, Integer> map = nameStream
				.collect(Collectors.toMap(
						Function.identity(), // 1. actual String as KEY
						String::length,  // 2. String length as their VALUE
						(key1, key2) -> key1) // 3. duplicate KEY resolver
						);


		// 2.1 print to console
		System.out.println("1. Stream to Map conversion : \n\n" + map);


		// 3. convert Map to TreeMap using inter-conversion constructor
		TreeMap<String, Integer> tMap = new TreeMap<>(map);


		// 3.1 print to console
		System.out.println("\n\n2. Stream to TreeMap conversion : \n\n" + tMap);
	}
}

Output:

1. Stream to Map conversion : 

{Lingaraj=8, Abdul=5, Rajiv=5, Santosh=7, Anbu=4}


2. Stream to TreeMap conversion : 

{Abdul=5, Anbu=4, Lingaraj=8, Rajiv=5, Santosh=7}

2. Using Collectors.toMap(keyMapper, valueMapper, mergeFunction, supplier)

  • This is the 2nd variant of Collectors.toMap() method which accepts 4 input-arguments
    1. Key mapper – mapping function to produce keys
    2. Value mapper – mapping function to produce values
    3. Merge Function – this is used to resolve collisions between values associated with the same key
    4. Supplier – function which returns a new, empty Map into which the results will be inserted
  • Above method helps to convert Stream into HashMap, LinkedHashMap or TreeMap directly or whichever Supplier we pass as 4th argument
  • In the below example, we are passing TreeMap implementation class as method/constructor reference TreeMap::new
  • TreeMap stores Key-Value pairs according to sorting order of Keys
  • Finally, print converted TreeMap pairs to console

StreamToTreeMapUsingCollectorsToMap.java

package net.bench.resources.stream.to.treemap;

import java.util.TreeMap;
import java.util.function.Function;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class StreamToTreeMapUsingCollectorsToMap {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// 1. Stream of String tokens
		Stream<String> nameStream = Stream.of(
				"Rajiv",
				"Anbu",
				"Santosh",
				"Abdul",
				"Lingaraj"
				);


		// 2. convert Stream<String> to TreeMap<String, Integer>
		TreeMap<String, Integer> tMap = nameStream
				.collect(Collectors.toMap(
						Function.identity(), // 1. actual String as KEY
						String::length,  // 2. String length as their VALUE
						(key1, key2) -> key1, // 3. duplicate KEY resolver
						TreeMap::new // 4. implementation-class
						));


		// 2.1 print to console
		System.out.println("Stream to TreeMap conversion : \n\n" + tMap);
	}
}

Output:

Stream to TreeMap conversion : 

{Abdul=5, Anbu=4, Lingaraj=8, Rajiv=5, Santosh=7}
