Java 8 List into Map

I want to translate a List of objects into a Map using Java 8\'s streams and lambdas.

This is how I would write it in Java 7 and below.

private Map&l         


        

Answer 1

If you don't mind using 3rd party libraries, AOL's cyclops-react lib (disclosure I am a contributor) has extensions for all JDK Collection types, including List and Map.

ListX choices;
Map map = choices.toMap(c-> c.getName(),c->c);
