035/**
036 * An expanded {@code Iterable} API, providing functionality similar to Java 8's powerful <a href=
037 * "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/package-summary.html#package.description"
038 * >streams library</a> in a slightly different way.
039 *
040 * <p>The following types of methods are provided:
041 *
042 * <ul>
043 *   <li>chaining methods which return a new {@code FluentIterable} based in some way on the
044 *       contents of the current one (for example {@link #transform})
045 *   <li>element extraction methods which facilitate the retrieval of certain elements (for example
046 *       {@link #last})
047 *   <li>query methods which answer questions about the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents (for
048 *       example {@link #anyMatch})
049 *   <li>conversion methods which copy the {@code FluentIterable}'s contents into a new collection
050 *       or array (for example {@link #toList})
051 * </ul>
052 *
053 * <p>Several lesser-used features are currently available only as static methods on the {@link
054 * Iterables} class.
055 *
056 * <p><a name="streams"></a>
057 *
058 * <h3>Comparison to streams</h3>
059 *
060 * <p>Starting with Java 8, the core Java class libraries provide a new "Streams" library (in {@code
061 * java.util.stream}), which is similar to {@code FluentIterable} but generally more powerful. Key
062 * differences include:
063 *
064 * <ul>
065 *   <li>A stream is <i>single-use</i>; it becomes invalid as soon as any "terminal operation" such
066 *       as {@code findFirst()} or {@code iterator()} is invoked. (Even though {@code Stream}
067 *       contains all the right method <i>signatures</i> to implement {@link Iterable}, it does not
068 *       actually do so, to avoid implying repeat-iterability.) {@code FluentIterable}, on the other
069 *       hand, is multiple-use, and does implement {@link Iterable}.
070 *   <li>Streams offer many features not found here, including {@code min/max}, {@code distinct},
071 *       {@code reduce}, {@code sorted}, the very powerful {@code collect}, and built-in support for
072 *       parallelizing stream operations.
073 *   <li>{@code FluentIterable} contains several features not available on {@code Stream}, which are
074 *       noted in the method descriptions below.
075 *   <li>Streams include primitive-specialized variants such as {@code IntStream}, the use of which
076 *       is strongly recommended.
077 *   <li>Streams are standard Java, not requiring a third-party dependency (but do render your code
078 *       incompatible with Java 7 and earlier).
079 * </ul>
080 *
081 * <h3>Example</h3>
082 *
083 * <p>Here is an example that accepts a list from a database call, filters it based on a predicate,
084 * transforms it by invoking {@code toString()} on each element, and returns the first 10 elements
085 * as a {@code List}:
086 *
087 * <pre>{@code
088 * ImmutableList<String> results =
089 *     FluentIterable.from(database.getClientList())
090 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
091 *         .transform(Object::toString)
092 *         .limit(10)
093 *         .toList();
094 * }</pre>
095 *
096 * The approximate stream equivalent is:
097 *
098 * <pre>{@code
099 * List<String> results =
100 *     database.getClientList()
101 *         .stream()
102 *         .filter(Client::isActiveInLastMonth)
103 *         .map(Object::toString)
104 *         .limit(10)
105 *         .collect(Collectors.toList());
106 * }</pre>
