How to Query XML Files Using APIs in Java

Despite some notable shortcomings in the contemporary technology landscape, XML is still a powerful language offering key advantages in complex data storage scenarios.

Compared with a popular data interchange format like JSON, for example, XML's syntax places a greater emphasis on machine readability over human readability, making its error-checking process more efficient. Most importantly, XML is great at storing unique data types with multiple variables, whereas JSON is optimized for relatively simple and concise object storage. XML's advantages and disadvantages both stem from the fact that it's not a dedicated data interchange format like JSON at all; rather, it's a complex markup language (more similar to HTML) with powerful data interchange capabilities.

Debugging Streams With Peek

I blogged about Java stream debugging in the past, but I skipped an important method that's worthy of a post of its own: peek. This blog post delves into the practicalities of using peek() to debug Java streams, complete with code samples and common pitfalls.

Understanding Java Streams

Java Streams represent a significant shift in how Java developers work with collections and data processing, introducing a functional approach to handling sequences of elements. Streams facilitate declarative processing of collections, enabling operations such as filter, map, reduce, and more in a fluent style. This not only makes the code more readable but also more concise compared to traditional iterative approaches.
