在Java 1.8中，流API可用于将列表转换为集合。例如，下面的代码显示了一个列表到一个集合的转换:

List<String> empList = Arrays.asList("java", "python", ".net", "javaScript", "php");
Set<String> set = empList.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet());
set.forEach(value -> System.out.printf("%s ", value));

如果列表包含对象，我想创建一个集合:

List<Employee> empList = Arrays.asList(new Employee(1, 1000, "Chandra Shekhar", 6000),
new Employee(2, 1000, "Rajesh", 8000), new Employee(3, 1004, "Rahul", 9000),
new Employee(4, 1001, "Suresh", 12000), new Employee(5, 1004, "Satosh", 7000));

Set<String> set = empList.stream().map(emp -> emp.getName()).collect(Collectors.toSet());
System.out.println(set);        

有多种方法来获取一个Set为:

    List<Integer> sourceList = new ArrayList();
    sourceList.add(1);
    sourceList.add(2);
    sourceList.add(3);
    sourceList.add(4);

    // Using Core Java
    Set<Integer> set1 = new HashSet<>(sourceList);  //needs null-check if sourceList can be null.

    // Java 8
    Set<Integer> set2 = sourceList.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet());
    Set<Integer> set3 = sourceList.stream().collect(Collectors.toCollection(HashSet::new));

    //Guava
    Set<Integer> set4 = Sets.newHashSet(sourceList);

    // Apache commons
    Set<Integer> set5 = new HashSet<>(4);
    CollectionUtils.addAll(set5, sourceList);

当我们使用collections . toset()时，它返回一个集合，并且根据文档:对于返回的set的类型、可变性、可序列化性或线程安全性没有保证。如果我们想要获得一个HashSet，那么我们可以使用另一种方法来获得一个set(检查set3)。

Set<Foo> foo = new HashSet<Foo>(myList);

请记住，从List转换到Set将从集合中删除重复项，因为List支持重复项，而Set在Java中不支持重复项。

直接转换:将List转换为Set的最常见和最简单的方法

// Creating a list of strings
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("One", "Two", "Three", "Four");

// Converting a list to set
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(list);

Apache Commons Collections:你也可以使用Commons Collections API将一个List转换为一个Set

// Creating a list of strings
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("One", "Two", "Three", "Four");

// Creating a set with the same number of members in the list 
Set<String> set = new HashSet<>(4);

// Adds all of the elements in the list to the target set
CollectionUtils.addAll(set, list);

使用流:另一种方法是将给定的列表转换为流，然后将流转换为集:-

// Creating a list of strings 
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("One", "Two", "Three", "Four"); 

// Converting to set using stream 
Set<String> set = list.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet()); 

在Java 1.8中，流API可用于将列表转换为集合。例如，下面的代码显示了一个列表到一个集合的转换:

List<String> empList = Arrays.asList("java", "python", ".net", "javaScript", "php");
Set<String> set = empList.stream().collect(Collectors.toSet());
set.forEach(value -> System.out.printf("%s ", value));

new Employee(4, 1001, "Suresh", 12000), new Employee(5, 1004, "Satosh", 7000));

Set<String> set = empList.stream().map(emp -> emp.getName()).collect(Collectors.toSet());
System.out.println(set);        

带有Optional.ofNullable的更具Java 8弹性的解决方案

Set<Foo> mySet = Optional.ofNullable(myList).map(HashSet::new).orElse(null);
