036/**
037 * A discouraged (but not deprecated) precursor to Java's superior {@link Stream} library.
038 *
039 * <p>The following types of methods are provided:
040 *
041 * <ul>
042 * <li>chaining methods which return a new {@code FluentIterable} based in some way on the contents
043 *     of the current one (for example {@link #transform})
044 * <li>element extraction methods which facilitate the retrieval of certain elements (for example
045 *     {@link #last})
046 * <li>query methods which answer questions about the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents (for example
047 *     {@link #anyMatch})
048 * <li>conversion methods which copy the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents into a new collection or
049 *     array (for example {@link #toList})
050 * </ul>
051 *
052 * <p>Several lesser-used features are currently available only as static methods on the {@link
053 * Iterables} class.
054 *
055 * <a name="streams"></a>
056 * <h3>Comparison to streams</h3>
057 *
058 * <p>{@link Stream} is similar to this class, but generally more powerful, and certainly more
059 * standard. Key differences include:
060 *
061 * <ul>
062 * <li>A stream is <i>single-use</i>; it becomes invalid as soon as any "terminal operation" such as
063 *     {@code findFirst()} or {@code iterator()} is invoked. (Even though {@code Stream} contains
064 *     all the right method <i>signatures</i> to implement {@link Iterable}, it does not actually do
065 *     so, to avoid implying repeat-iterability.) {@code FluentIterable}, on the other hand, is
066 *     multiple-use, and does implement {@link Iterable}.
067 * <li>Streams offer many features not found here, including {@code min/max}, {@code distinct},
068 *     {@code reduce}, {@code sorted}, the very powerful {@code collect}, and built-in support for
069 *     parallelizing stream operations.
070 * <li>{@code FluentIterable} contains several features not available on {@code Stream}, which are
071 *     noted in the method descriptions below.
072 * <li>Streams include primitive-specialized variants such as {@code IntStream}, the use of which is
073 *     strongly recommended.
074 * <li>Streams are standard Java, not requiring a third-party dependency.
075 * </ul>
076 *
077 * <h3>Example</h3>
078 *
079 * <p>Here is an example that accepts a list from a database call, filters it based on a predicate,
080 * transforms it by invoking {@code toString()} on each element, and returns the first 10 elements
081 * as a {@code List}:
082 *
083 * <pre>{@code
084 * ImmutableList<String> results =
085 *     FluentIterable.from(database.getClientList())
086 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
087 *         .transform(Object::toString)
088 *         .limit(10)
089 *         .toList();
090 * }</pre>
091 *
092 * The approximate stream equivalent is:
093 *
094 * <pre>{@code
095 * List<String> results =
096 *     database.getClientList()
097 *         .stream()
098 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
099 *         .map(Object::toString)
100 *         .limit(10)
101 *         .collect(Collectors.toList());
102 * }</pre>
