Streams API

The Streams API is a tool in programming that allows developers to process and analyze real-time data as it flows through a system. Think of it like a conveyor belt that carries constant streams of information—this API helps filter, transform, or aggregate that data instantly. It's useful for tasks like monitoring live website activity, financial transactions, or sensor data, enabling applications to respond quickly and efficiently to changing information. Essentially, it makes handling continuous data straightforward and efficient, supporting real-time decision-making and analytics.
