Faux Pas
A Java library that enables functional interfaces to throw checked exceptions, simplifying error handling in functional programming.
What is Faux Pas?
Faux Pas is a Java library that simplifies error handling in functional programming by allowing functional interfaces to throw checked exceptions. It fixes the JDK's limitation where standard functional types like `Function` or `Supplier` cannot throw checked exceptions, reducing boilerplate and making functional code more expressive. The library provides throwing variants of all major functional interfaces and utilities for better exception handling with `CompletableFuture`.
Java developers using functional programming patterns (e.g., streams, lambdas, CompletableFuture) who need to handle checked exceptions cleanly without wrapping them in runtime exceptions.
Developers choose Faux Pas because it seamlessly integrates with Java's existing functional interfaces, requires no runtime dependencies beyond Java 8+, and reduces verbosity in error handling. Its utilities for `CompletableFuture` and try-with-resources alternatives offer practical solutions to common pain points in functional Java code.
