Java8: convert one map to another map using stream

Question

I need to convert a Java HashMap to an instance of TreeMap (including map contents)

HashMap src = ...;
TreeMa         


        

Answer 1

From Collectors.toMap(...) javadoc:

 * @param keyMapper a mapping function to produce keys
 * @param valueMapper a mapping function to produce values
 * @param mergeFunction a merge function, used to resolve collisions between
 *                      values associated with the same key, as supplied
 *                      to {@link Map#merge(Object, Object, BiFunction)}
 * @param mapSupplier a function which returns a new, empty {@code Map} into
 *                    which the results will be inserted

For example:

HashMap<String, Object> src = ...;
TreeMap<String, Object> dest = src.entrySet().stream()
      .filter( ... )
      .collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey , Map.Entry::getValue, (a,b) -> a, TreeMap::new));

Answer 2

Just another way to convert map into stream:

Use of Stream.of(t)

HashMap<String, Object> src = ...;
TreeMap<String, Object> dest = Stream.of(src)
      .filter( ... )
      .collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey , Map.Entry::getValue, (a,b) -> a, TreeMap::new));
