DeclarativeX — A Composable approach to exception & conditions in Java

The idea of utilizing functional programming is to enable declarative programming along with supporting concurrency & state issues.

Most of the items are already better with Java 8 in terms of declarative programming, with the help of Optional Monad, Streams API.

I could sense a need, especially in exception handling and conditions. We might need a composable api to effectively handle exceptions and multi conditions.

The Declarativex library attempts to solve the issue through some functional and fluent interface way.
