Google Guava “zip” two lists

Question

Using Google Guava (Google Commons), is there a way to merge two equally sized lists into one list, with the new list containing composite objects of the two input lists?

Answer 1

As of Guava 21, this is possible via Streams.zip():

List persons = Streams.zip(names.stream(), ages.stream(), Person::new)
                              .collect(Collectors.toList());
