Vavr is an object-functional extension for Java that makes defensive programming easy by leveraging immutability and functional control structures

Vavr seamlessly combines object-oriented programming with the elegance and robustness of functional programming.

It provides:

• persistent collections
• functional abstractions for error handling, concurrent programming
• pattern matching
• ...and more

Since Vavr has no dependencies beyond the JVM, you can easily add it as a standalone .jar to your classpath.

Contributing

Currently, there are two significant branches:

• main (represents a stream of work leading to the release of a new major version)
• version/1.x (historical work that went into 1.0.0-alpha-3, treat it 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.
