Convert java.util.stream to map

Following example shows you how to convert java.util.stream.Stream to a map in Java. By using toMap method of Collectors class and collect method of Stream class we can convert java stream to a map.

For example,

1. Get id, firstName from list employees.

employees.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toMap(Employee::getId,Employee::getFirstName));

Above statement convert list of employees to Map<Integer, String> format.

2. Get id, Employee from all employees.

employees.stream().distinct().collect(Collectors.toMap(Employee::getId, employee -> employee));

Above statement convert list of employees to Map<Integer, Employee> format.
Following application illustrate above examples.

import java.util.Objects;

public class Employee {
 private int id;
 private String firstName;
 private String lastName;
 private int age;
 private String city;
 private double salary;

 public Employee(int id, String firstName, String lastName, int age,
   String city, double salary) {
  super();
  this.id = id;
  this.firstName = firstName;
  this.lastName = lastName;
  this.age = age;
  this.city = city;
  this.salary = salary;
 }

 public int getId() {
  return id;
 }

 public void setId(int id) {
  this.id = id;
 }

 public String getFirstName() {
  return firstName;
 }

 public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
  this.firstName = firstName;
 }

 public String getLastName() {
  return lastName;
 }

 public void setLastName(String lastName) {
  this.lastName = lastName;
 }

 public int getAge() {
  return age;
 }

 public void setAge(int age) {
  this.age = age;
 }

 public String getCity() {
  return city;
 }

 public void setCity(String city) {
  this.city = city;
 }

 public double getSalary() {
  return salary;
 }

 public void setSalary(double salary) {
  this.salary = salary;
 }

 @Override
 public boolean equals(Object employee) {
  if (Objects.isNull(employee))
   return false;

  if (!(employee instanceof Employee))
   return false;

  Employee emp = (Employee) employee;

  return id == emp.id;
 }

 @Override
 public int hashCode() {
  return Objects.hash(id, firstName, lastName, age);
 }

 @Override
 public String toString() {
  return String.format("%s(%s,%d,%f)", firstName, city, age, salary);
 }

}

 }

 public static void main(String args[]) {

  /* Get id, Employee from all employees. */
  Map<Integer, Employee> map = employees
    .stream()
    .distinct()

Output
