public final class StreamSupport extends Object
This class is mostly for library writers presenting stream views
 of data structures; most static stream methods intended for end users are in
 the various Stream classes.

public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Spliterator<T> spliterator, boolean parallel)
Stream from a
 Spliterator.
 The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.
It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of
 IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be
 late-binding.  Otherwise,
 stream(java.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used
 to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source.  See
 Non-Interference for
 more details.
T - the type of stream elementsspliterator - a Spliterator describing the stream elementsparallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel
        stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential
        stream.Streampublic static <T> Stream<T> stream(Supplier<? extends Spliterator<T>> supplier, int characteristics, boolean parallel)
Stream from a
 Supplier of Spliterator.
 The Supplier.get() method will be invoked on the supplier no
 more than once, and only after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline
 commences.
 
For spliterators that report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE
 or CONCURRENT, or that are
 late-binding, it is likely
 more efficient to use stream(java.util.Spliterator, boolean)
 instead.
 
The use of a Supplier in this form provides a level of
 indirection that reduces the scope of potential interference with the
 source.  Since the supplier is only invoked after the terminal operation
 commences, any modifications to the source up to the start of the
 terminal operation are reflected in the stream result.  See
 Non-Interference for
 more details.
T - the type of stream elementssupplier - a Supplier of a Spliteratorcharacteristics - Spliterator characteristics of the supplied
