docs(core-concepts): add overview of Streams, Collections Framework, and Generics
What - Added a detailed documentation file covering three foundational Java concepts: 1. Streams → declarative, functional data processing with filter/map/reduce and parallelism. 2. Collections Framework → core data structures (List, Set, Map, Queue) and their integration in back-end, front-end, and frameworks. 3. Generics → type-safety, reusability, and readability improvements with generic classes/interfaces. - Included structured sections: - Concept explanation - Practical applications - Real-world usage across back-end, microservices, UI, and middleware. - Provided a concise summary that positions these three concepts as the backbone of scalable Java development. Why - These three concepts are central to modern Java programming across domains. - Developers often use them together (e.g., Collections hold data, Streams process it, Generics enforce type safety). - A unified overview makes it easier to understand how they interconnect and why mastering them is essential for enterprise-grade applications. Logic 1. **Streams** - Emphasized functional, declarative style over imperative loops. - Highlighted back-end data manipulation, parallel computation, and event/log pipelines. - Showed relevance in high-throughput systems like Spring Boot services or analytics. 2. **Collections Framework** - Identified as the backbone of Java applications. - Explained usage in back-end (DB results, caching), front-end/mobile (UI state, adapters), and frameworks (Spring, Hibernate). - Reinforced importance as building blocks for nearly all Java data-handling code. 3. **Generics** - Explained compile-time type safety preventing runtime ClassCastException. - Showed reusability via type-safe repositories, DTOs, and custom utilities. - Clarified benefits of reduced boilerplate and increased readability. 4. **Real-World Applications** - Connected Streams, Collections, and Generics into enterprise workflows: - Back-end data processing (Collections + Streams). - Microservices aggregation (Streams + Generics for DTOs). - UI/mobile apps (Collections + Generics for model binding). - Utility libraries (all three for flexibility and safety). Real-life applications - Enterprise back-end: Streams filter/aggregate DB records, Collections cache them, Generics enforce DTO typing. - Microservices: Streams combine service results, Generics enable reusable interfaces across APIs. - UI/Mobile apps: Collections model UI data, Streams transform it, Generics prevent runtime casting errors. - Middleware/utility libraries: Provide type-safe, reusable APIs built on Collections and Generics. Notes - ✔ Streams = declarative, functional pipelines for data. - ✔ Collections = robust, reusable data structures. - ✔ Generics = compile-time safety + reusable APIs. - Together, these form the core triad for efficient, scalable, and maintainable Java systems.
