Collectors is a final class that extends the Object class. In this tutorial we will see the examples of Java Stream collectors class using lambda expressions, Java Streams and other new features of Java 8.

Java – Stream Collectors groupingBy and counting Example
In this example, we are grouping the elements of a list using groupingBy() method of Collectors class and printing the occurrences of each element in the list.
import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import java.util.function.Function; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { List<String> names = Arrays.asList("Jon", "Ajeet", "Steve", "Ajeet", "Jon", "Ajeet"); Map<String, Long> map = names.stream().collect( Collectors.groupingBy( Function.identity(), Collectors.counting() ) ); System.out.println(map); } }
Output:
{Steve=1, Jon=2, Ajeet=3}
Java – Stream Collectors example of fetching data as List
import java.util.stream.Collectors; import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; class Student{ int id; String name; int age; public Student(int id, String name, int age) { this.id = id; this.name = name; this.age = age; } } public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Student> studentlist = new ArrayList<Student>(); //Adding Students studentlist.add(new Student(11,"Jon",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(22,"Steve",18)); studentlist.add(new Student(33,"Lucy",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(44,"Sansa",23)); studentlist.add(new Student(55,"Maggie",18)); //Fetching student names as List List<String> names = studentlist.stream() .map(n->n.name) .collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(names); } }
Output:
[Jon, Steve, Lucy, Sansa, Maggie]
Java Collectors Example – Collecting Data as Set
In this example we are converting the list of students to the stream and then we are applying the Java Stream filter to get the selected records from the stream, after that we are converting that stream to set using Collectors.toSet() method.
import java.util.stream.Collectors; import java.util.List; import java.util.Set; import java.util.ArrayList; class Student{ int id; String name; int age; public Student(int id, String name, int age) { this.id = id; this.name = name; this.age = age; } } public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Student> studentlist = new ArrayList<Student>(); //Adding Students studentlist.add(new Student(11,"Jon",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(22,"Steve",18)); studentlist.add(new Student(33,"Lucy",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(44,"Sansa",23)); studentlist.add(new Student(55,"Maggie",18)); //Fetching student data as a Set Set<Student> students = studentlist.stream() .filter(n-> n.id>22) .collect(Collectors.toSet()); //Iterating Set for(Student stu : students) { System.out.println(stu.id+" "+stu.name+" "+stu.age); } } }
Output:
44 Sansa 23 33 Lucy 22 55 Maggie 18
Java Collectors Example – Getting the average age of students using averagingInt() method
import java.util.stream.Collectors; import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; class Student{ int id; String name; int age; public Student(int id, String name, int age) { this.id = id; this.name = name; this.age = age; } } public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Student> studentlist = new ArrayList<Student>(); //Adding Students studentlist.add(new Student(11,"Jon",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(22,"Steve",18)); studentlist.add(new Student(33,"Lucy",22)); studentlist.add(new Student(44,"Sansa",23)); studentlist.add(new Student(55,"Maggie",18)); //Getting the average Age Double avgAge = studentlist.stream() .collect(Collectors.averagingInt(s->s.age)); System.out.println("Average Age of Students is: "+avgAge); } }
Output:
Average Age of Students is: 20.6
I have shown the examples of very few methods of Java Collectors class. To get the complete list of methods refer the javadoc: Java 8 Stream Collectors – JavaDoc
