public interface Applicative<A,App extends Applicative<?,App>> extends Functor<A,App>
An interface representing applicative functors - functors that can have their results combined with other functors of the same instance in a context-free manner.

The same rules that apply to Functor apply to Applicative, along with the following additional 4 laws:

  • identity: v.zip(pureId).equals(v)
  • composition: w.zip(v.zip(u.zip(pureCompose))).equals((w.zip(v)).zip(u))
  • homomorphism: pureX.zip(pureF).equals(pureFx)
  • interchange: pureY.zip(u).equals(u.zip(pure(f -> f.apply(y))))
As with Functor, Applicative instances that do not satisfy all of the functor laws, as well as the above applicative laws, are not well-behaved and often break down in surprising ways.

    • pure

      <B> Applicative<B,App> pure(B b)
      Lift the value b into this applicative functor.
      Type Parameters:
      B - the type of the returned applicative's parameter
      Parameters:
      b - the value
      Returns:
      an instance of this applicative over b
    • zip

      <B> Applicative<B,App> zip(Applicative<Fn1<? super A,? extends B>,App> appFn)
      Given another instance of this applicative over a mapping function, "zip" the two instances together using whatever application semantics the current applicative supports.
      Type Parameters:
      B - the resulting applicative parameter type
      Parameters:
      appFn - the other applicative instance
      Returns:
      the mapped applicative
    • lazyZip

      default <B> Lazy<? extends Applicative<B,App>> lazyZip(Lazy<? extends Applicative<Fn1<? super A,? extends B>,App>> lazyAppFn)
      Given a lazy instance of this applicative over a mapping function, "zip" the two instances together using whatever application semantics the current applicative supports. This is useful for applicatives that support lazy evaluation and early termination.
      Type Parameters:
      B - the resulting applicative parameter type
      Parameters:
      lazyAppFn - the lazy other applicative instance
      Returns:
      the mapped applicative

      Sequence both this Applicative and appB, discarding this Applicative's result and returning appB. This is generally useful for sequentially performing side-effects.
      Type Parameters:
