Object scala.jdk.CollectionConverters

object CollectionConverters extends AsJavaExtensions with AsScalaExtensions

This object provides extension methods that convert between Scala and Java collections.

When writing Java code, use the explicit conversion methods defined in javaapi.CollectionConverters instead.

Note: to create Java Streams that operate on Scala collections (sequentially or in parallel), use StreamConverters.

import scala.jdk.CollectionConverters._
val s: java.util.Set[String] = Set("one", "two").asJava

The conversions return adapters for the corresponding API, i.e., the collections are wrapped, not converted. Changes to the original collection are reflected in the view, and vice versa:

scala> import scala.jdk.CollectionConverters._

scala> val s = collection.mutable.Set("one")
s: scala.collection.mutable.Set[String] = HashSet(one)

scala> val js = s.asJava
js: java.util.Set[String] = [one]

scala> js.add("two")

scala> s
res2: scala.collection.mutable.Set[String] = HashSet(two, one)

The following conversions are supported via asScala and asJava:

scala.collection.Iterable       <=> java.lang.Iterable
scala.collection.Iterator       <=> java.util.Iterator
scala.collection.mutable.Buffer <=> java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Set    <=> java.util.Set
scala.collection.mutable.Map    <=> java.util.Map
scala.collection.concurrent.Map <=> java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap

The following conversions are supported via asScala and through specially-named extension methods to convert to Java collections, as shown:

scala.collection.Iterable    <=> java.util.Collection   (via asJavaCollection)
scala.collection.Iterator    <=> java.util.Enumeration  (via asJavaEnumeration)
scala.collection.mutable.Map <=> java.util.Dictionary   (via asJavaDictionary)

In addition, the following one-way conversions are provided via asJava:

scala.collection.Seq         => java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Seq => java.util.List
scala.collection.Set         => java.util.Set
scala.collection.Map         => java.util.Map

The following one way conversion is provided via asScala:

java.util.Properties => scala.collection.mutable.Map

In all cases, converting from a source type to a target type and back again will return the original source object. For example:

import scala.jdk.CollectionConverters._

val source = new scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer[Int]
val target: java.util.List[Int] = source.asJava
val other: scala.collection.mutable.Buffer[Int] = target.asScala
assert(source eq other)

Value Members

final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

Test two objects for inequality.

returns

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

final def ##(): Int

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

returns

a hash value consistent with ==

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

returns

the receiver object.

Definition Classes
Any
Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def clone(): AnyRef

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

returns

a copy of the receiver object.

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

returns

true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef

def equals(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.

See also equals in scala.Any.

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

def finalize(): Unit

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

final def getClass(): Class[_ <: AnyRef]

Returns the runtime class representation of the object.

returns

a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.

def hashCode(): Int

The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.

returns

the hash code value for this object.

@native()

final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

returns

true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
Any

final def ne(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Equivalent to !(this eq that).

returns

true if the argument is not a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

final def notify(): Unit

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.

def toString(): String

Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

returns

a String representation of the object.
