在Java 8里,你可以用Arrays.stream 或 Stream.of来将数组转换成流。
1. 对象数组
对于对象数组,Arrays.stream 和 Stream.of方法都可以返回同样的输出结果。
TestJava8.java
package com.mkyong.java8;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class TestJava8 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] array = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"};
        //Arrays.stream
        Stream<string> stream1 = Arrays.stream(array);
        stream1.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));
        //Stream.of
        Stream<string> stream2 = Stream.of(array);
        stream2.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));
    }
}
Output
a
b
c
d
e
a
b
c
d
e
让我们看一下JDK的源码。
Arrays.java
/**
     * Returns a sequential {@link Stream} with the specified array as its
     * source.
     *
     * @param <t> The type of the array elements
     * @param array The array, assumed to be unmodified during use
     * @return a {@code Stream} for the array
     * @since 1.8
     */
    public static <t> Stream<t> stream(T[] array) {
        return stream(array, 0, array.length);
    }
Stream.java
/**
     * Returns a sequential ordered stream whose elements are the specified values.
     *
     * @param <t> the type of stream elements
     * @param values the elements of the new stream
     * @return the new stream
     */
    @SafeVarargs
    @SuppressWarnings("varargs") // Creating a stream from an array is safe
    public static<t> Stream<t> of(T... values) {
        return Arrays.stream(values);
    }
请注意
对于对象数组,Stream.of方法会在内部调用Arrays.stream。
2. 原始数组
对于原始数组,Arrays.stream 和 Stream.of会返回不同的输出结果。
TestJava8.java
package com.mkyong.java8;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class TestJava8 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] intArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        // 1. Arrays.stream -> IntStream 
        IntStream intStream1 = Arrays.stream(intArray);
        intStream1.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));
        // 2. Stream.of -> Stream<int[]>
        Stream<int[]> temp = Stream.of(intArray);
        // Cant print Stream<int[]> directly, convert / flat it to IntStream 
        IntStream intStream2 = temp.flatMapToInt(x -> Arrays.stream(x));
        intStream2.forEach(x -> System.out.println(x));
    }
}
Output
1
2
3
4
5
1
2
3
4
5
让我们看一下JDK的源码。
Arrays.java
/**
     * Returns a sequential {@link IntStream} with the specified array as its
     * source.
     *
     * @param array the array, assumed to be unmodified during use
     * @return an {@code IntStream} for the array
     * @since 1.8
     */
    public static IntStream stream(int[] array) {
        return stream(array, 0, array.length);
    }
Stream.java
/**
     * Returns a sequential {@code Stream} containing a single element.
     *
     * @param t the single element
     * @param <t> the type of stream elements
     * @return a singleton sequential stream
     */
    public static<t> Stream<t> of(T t) {
        return StreamSupport.stream(new Streams.StreamBuilderImpl<>(t), false);
    }
该用哪一个呢?
对于对象数组,都会调用Arrays.stream(参见示例1,JDK源代码)。
对于原始数组,更推荐Arrays.stream,因为它直接返回固定大小的IntStream,更易于操作。
P.S 使用Oracle JDK 1.8.0_77版本测试
