ATTENTION: We're still in a very early alpha version, the API may and will change frequently. Please, use it at your own risk, until we release version 1.0. You can view our progress towards this release here.

Cactoos is a collection of object-oriented Java primitives.

Motivation. We are not happy with JDK, Guava, and Apache Commons because they are procedural and not object-oriented. They do their job, but mostly through static methods. Cactoos is suggesting to do almost exactly the same, but through objects.

Principles. These are the design principles behind Cactoos.

How to use. The library has no dependencies. All you need is this (get the latest version here):

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.cactoos</groupId>
  <artifactId>cactoos</artifactId>
</dependency>

Java version required: 1.8+.

StackOverflow tag is cactoos.

Input/Output

More about it here: Object-Oriented Declarative Input/Output in Cactoos.

To read a text file in UTF-8:

String text = new TextOf(
  new File("/code/a.txt")
).asString();

To write a text into a file:

new LengthOf(
  new TeeInput(
    "Hello, world!",
    new File("/code/a.txt")
  )
).intValue();

To read a binary file from classpath:

byte[] data = new BytesOf(
  new ResourceOf("foo/img.jpg")
).asBytes();

Text/Strings

To format a text:

String text = new FormattedText(
  "How are you, %s?",
  name
).asString();

To manipulate with a text:

// To lower case
new LowerText(
	new TextOf("Hello")
);
// To upper case
new UpperText(
	new TextOf("Hello")
);

Iterables/Collections/Lists/Sets

More about it here: Lazy Loading and Caching via Sticky Cactoos Primitives.

To filter a collection:

Collection<String> filtered = new ListOf<>(
  new Filtered<>(
    s -> s.length() > 4,
    new IterableOf<>("hello", "world", "dude")
  )
);

To iterate a collection:

new And(
  new Mapped<>(
    new FuncOf<>(
      input -> {
        System.out.printf("Item: %s\n", input);
      }
    ),
    new IterableOf<>("how", "are", "you")
  )
).value();

Or even more compact:

new And(
  (String input) -> System.out.printf("Item: %s\n", input),
  "how", "are", "you"
).value();

To sort a list of words in the file:

List<String> sorted = new ListOf<>(
  new Sorted<>(
    new SplitText(
      new TextOf(
        new File("/tmp/names.txt")
      ),
      new TextOf("\\s+")
    )
  )
);

To count elements in an iterable:

int total = new LengthOf(
  "how", "are", "you"
).intValue();

Funcs and Procs

This is a traditional foreach loop:

for (String name : names) {
  System.out.printf("Hello, %s!\n", name);
}

This is its object-oriented alternative (no streams!):

new And(
  names,
  n -> {
    System.out.printf("Hello, %s!\n", n);
  }
).value();

This is an endless while/do loop:

while (!ready) {
  System.out.prinln("Still waiting...");
}

Here is its object-oriented alternative:

new And(
  new Endless<>(ready),
  ready -> {
    System.out.println("Still waiting...");
    return !ready;
  }
).value();

Dates and Times

From our org.cactoos.time package.

Our classes are divided in two groups: those that parse strings into date/time objects, and those that format those objects into strings.

For example, this is the traditional way of parsing a string into an OffsetDateTime:

final OffsetDateTime date = OffsetDateTime.parse("2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00");

Here is its object-oriented alternative (no static method calls!) using OffsetDateTimeOf, which is a Scalar:

final OffsetDateTime date = new OffsetDateTimeOf("2007-12-03T10:15:30+01:00").value();

To format an OffsetDateTime into a Text:

final OffsetDateTime date = ...;
final OffsetDateTimeAsText text = new OffsetDateTimeAsText(date);

Our objects vs. their static methods
