To add to the existing answers. I personally dislike checked exceptions. See for more info: https://phauer.com/2015/checked-exceptions-are-evil/
To add insult to injury, the code gets bloated when avoiding the checked exceptions. Consider the usage of @SneakyThrows:
List<Instant> instantsSneaky = List.of("2020-09-28T12:30:08.797481Z")
.stream()
.map(Example::parseSneaky)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
@SneakyThrows
private static Instant parseSneaky(String queryValue) {
return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'").parse(queryValue).toInstant();
}
versus non-@SneakyThrows
private static Instant parseNonSneaky(String queryValue) throws ParseException {
return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'").parse(queryValue).toInstant();
}
List<Instant> instantsNonSneaky = List.of("2020-09-28T12:30:08.797481Z")
.stream()
.map(timeStamp -> {
try {
return parseNonSneaky(timeStamp);
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
})
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Hence the applicance of @SneakyThrows enables much cleaner code.
