In this post, I will be explaining the difference between a Iterator and SplitIterator.
| Iterator | SplitIterator |
|---|---|
| Present in Java right from the start | Added by Java 8 |
| Allows iterating over the elements of a collection individually | Allows iterating over the elements of a collection individually as well as in bulk |
| Can be used only for iterating over a Collection | Can be used to iterate over a Stream as well as a Collection |
| Only allows sequential processing | Allows both sequential as well as parallel processing |
