StreamEx VS hypersistence-utils

I really like StreamEx. I do not know why people do not use it often, the syntax is just wonderful.

It gets more perverse if you need to flatMap, or transmute components of map types, etc. If you want even more power, take a look at https://github.com/amaembo/streamex. This sort of container manipulation bread and butter for business processing. I use it every day, sometimes with a dozen operations. This (with liberal use of `final` values) makes for some pretty functional-looking code.

I'll grant you the Kotlin or Scala version is slightly more compact. But not fundamentally different, like the Go version.

I (and the pretty much every language designer in the post-Java era) disagree with you about checked exceptions, but that's a whole different thread...

Unfortunately, you cannot smoothly wrap the sequence-based IDs with value objects. There are solutions, but they are rather cumbersome. I left the proposal to the Hibernate types project of adding support to this feature. You’ve already seen the benefits of user-defined types. So, you can rate up my issue to make it more popular.

The Hibernate Types project.

Spring Data / Hibernate does not support JSON fields out-of-the-box, but there is a library that provides custom types for the most common database systems: hibernate-types. This is a fantastic open source library, please support it!

I will blog about it in the following months. So far, I managed to add a new Hibernate Types module for Hibernate 6 and released the 2.15 version.

For current work, hibernate-types works great to support json/jsonb.

Complex DB structures are not a problem. You can map any database type you want: JSON, HStore, Ranges, Inet, as I did in this hypernate-types project.

I am using the Hibernate Types library for custom Hibernate types.
