Basic use for object null check and Objects.nonNull() method


Basic use for object null check

For null check in method:

Object customObject = retrieveCustomObject();
if (Objects.isNull(customObject)) {
    return;
}

For not null check in method:

Object anotherObject = retrieveAnotherObject();
if (Objects.nonNull(anotherObject)) {
    return;
}

Objects.nonNull() method reference use in stream api

In the old fashion way for collection null check

List<Object> someObjects = methodGetList();
for (Object obj : someObjects) {
	if (obj == null) {
		continue;
	}
	doSomething(obj);
}

With the Objects.nonNull method and Java8 Stream API, we can do the above in this way:

List<Object> someObjects = methodGetList();
someObjects.stream()
	 .filter(Objects::nonNull)
	 .forEach(this::doSomething);
