DirectoryStream
DirectoryStream is an interface in the Java programming language, part of the java.nio.file package, designed for iterating over entries in a directory. It provides a methodical way to access directory contents without loading all entries into memory at once, thereby offering efficient and scalable directory traversal.
The primary purpose of DirectoryStream is to enable applications to read directory entries in a resource-efficient
A DirectoryStream object implements the Iterable interface, allowing it to be used in enhanced for-loops and
The lifecycle of a DirectoryStream involves opening it via Files.newDirectoryStream(), iterating through its entries, and then
DirectoryStream supports filtering through a DirectoryStream.Filter interface, which allows developers to specify criteria for including or
In summary, DirectoryStream is a key component in Java's NIO file system API that facilitates efficient, filtered,
