ThrowingConsumer
is a functional interface that can be used to implement any generic block of code that consumes an argument and potentially throws a Throwable
. The ThrowingConsumer
interface is similar to Consumer
, except that a ThrowingConsumer
can throw any kind of exception, including checked exceptions.
Rationale for throwing Throwable
instead of Exception
Although Java applications typically throw exceptions that are instances of Exception
, RuntimeException
, Error
, or AssertionError
(in testing scenarios), there may be use cases where a ThrowingConsumer
needs to explicitly throw a Throwable
. In order to support such specialized use cases, accept
is declared to throw Throwable
.
Type parameters: - <T> – the type of argument consumed
