Functional Java is an open source library facilitating functional programming in Java. The library implements numerous basic and advanced programming abstractions that assist composition oriented development. Functional Java also serves as a platform for learning functional programming concepts by introducing these concepts using a familiar language.
The library is intended for use in production applications and is thoroughly tested using the technique of automated specification-based testing with ScalaCheck and Functional Java’s quickcheck module.
Functional Java provides abstractions for the following types:
Basic Data Structures - total and partial functions, products, unit, option, unbiased and right biased unions (either and validation), void.
Other Abstractions - monoid, semigroup, natural, random number generator, reader, writer, state, input/output, parser, zipper, specification based testing (quickcheck), actors, optics (lens, prism, fold, traversal and others), concurrency and type conversion.
Building is done using Java 8 and Gradle 7.4. In the root directory run:
./gradlew
This requires access to Java 8 and will download the Gradle build tool and necessary dependencies and build FunctionalJava.
Features
A more complete description of the features mentioned above are:
Basic Data Structures
Functions with arity 1 to 8 (fj.F).
Functions with arity 0 to 8 that can produce exceptions (fj.Try).
Functions with arity 0 to 8 that have a void return (fj.Effect).
Functions with arity 0 to 8 that have a void return and can throw an exception (fj.TryEffect).
Products with arity 1 to 8 (fj.P).
Unit type (fj.Unit).
Optional value - type-safe null (fj.data.Option).
Disjoint union data type - compositional exception handling (fj.data.Either).
Validation - right biased compositional exception handling (fj.data.Validation).
Immutable Collections
Array wrapper (fj.data.Array).
Immutable, in-memory singly linked list (fj.data.List).
Immutable lazy singly linked list (fj.data.Stream).
A package (fj.data.fingertrees) providing 2-3 finger trees for a functional representation of persistent sequences, supporting access to the ends in amortized O(1) time.
Type-safe heterogeneous list (fj.data.hlist) for lists of elements of differing types without sacrificing type-safety.
Immutable set implementation using a red/black tree (fj.data.Set).
Immutable multi-way tree - aka rose tree (fj.data.Tree).
Immutable tree-map using a red/black tree implementation (fj.data.TreeMap).
Immutable priority queue using finger trees (fj.data.PriorityQueue).
Difference lists, a highly performant list.
Other Abstractions
Monoid (fj.Monoid).
Semigroup (fj.Semigroup).
Natural number data type (fj.data.Natural).
Random number generator using a linear congruential generator (fj.LcgRng).
Reader, Writer and State monads (fj.data.Reader,fj.data.Writer, fj.data.State).
Input/Output monad for abstracting IO (fj.IO).
Monadic parser combinators for writing parsers by combining smaller parsers using composition.
Conversion of data types to/from standard Java types.
Conversion between FunctionalJava and Java 8 specific types.
Configurable equality and hash-code for HashMap and HashSet.
