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