Vavr is an object-functional language extension to Java 8 that aims to reduce the number of lines of code and increase code quality. It provides persistent collections, functional abstractions for error handling, concurrent programming, pattern matching, and much more.

Vavr fuses the power of object-oriented programming with the elegance and robustness of functional programming. The most interesting part is a feature-rich, persistent collection library that smoothly integrates with Java's standard collections.

Because Vavr does not depend on any libraries (other than the JVM), you can easily add it as a standalone .jar to your classpath.

Using Vavr

See User Guide and/or Javadoc.

Useful Maven Goals

• Executing tests: mvn clean test
• Executing doclint: mvn javadoc:javadoc
• Executing code coverage report: mvn -P ci clean test jacoco:report
• Create -javadoc.jar: mvn javadoc:jar
• Create -source.jar: mvn source:jar

Contributing

Currently, there are two significant branches:

• main (represents a stream of work leading to the release of a new ma version)
• version/1.x (historical work that went into 1.0.0-alpha-3, treat is as read-only - will be kept around for cherry-picking)

A small number of users have reported problems building Vavr. Read our contribution guide for details.
