java - No method to get stream of byte array -

this question has answer here:

• why new java.util.arrays methods in java 8 not overloaded primitive types? 1 answer

i want stream of byte array came know arrays not have method stream of byte array.

byte[] bytearr = new byte[100]; arrays.stream(bytearr);//compile time error 

my questions,

• why feature not supported ?
• how can stream of byte array ?

note : know can use byte[] instead of byte[] not answer question.

there 3 types of primitive streams: intstream, longstream , doublestream.

so, closest can have intstream, each byte in array promoted int.

afaik, simplest way build 1 byte array is

    intstream.builder builder = intstream.builder();     (byte b : bytearray) {         builder.accept(b);     }     intstream stream = builder.build(); 

edit: assylias suggests another, shorter way:

intstream stream = intstream.range(0, bytearr.length)                             .map(i -> bytearray[i]);
