StreamFactory class is responsible for creating streams.

A stream may be constructed from fixed list of elements:

Stream<String> stream = StreamFactory.of("alpha", "bravo", "charlie", "delta", "echo");

Or from any Iterable implementation:

List<String> list = Arrays.asList("alpha", "bravo", "charlie", "delta", "echo");
Stream<String> stream = StreamFactory.of(list);

Empty stream may be created as follows:

Stream<String> stream = StreamFactory.empty();

Infinite streams are also supported:

Stream<Integer> stream = StreamFactory.iterate(1, i -> i + 1).limit(5);

TakeWhile skips all elements after the first one that doesn't match a predicate:

StreamFactory.of(1,2,3,4,5,6).takeWhile(x -> x <= 3)
       .collect(Collectors.toList()); // [1,2,3]

DropWhile skips all elements before the first one that matches a predicate:

 StreamFactory.of(6,5,4,3,2,1).dropWhile(x -> x > 3)
       .collect(Collectors.toList()); // [3,2,1]

FiterNot filters out the elements that match the predicate, inverse for Filter:

StreamFactory.of(1,2,3,4,5,6).filterNot(x -> x % 2 == 0)
        .collect(Collectors.toList()); // [1,3,5]

FilterNulls filters out null items:

StreamFactory.of(1, 2, null, 4, null, 6).filterNulls()
        .collect(Collectors.toList()); // [1, 2, 4, 6]
