java - Google Guava "zip" two lists

Question

Using Google Guava (Google Commons), is there a way to merge two equally sized lists into one list, with the new list containing composite objects of the two input lists?

Example:

public class Person {
    public final String name;
    public final int age;

    public Person(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return "(" + name + ", " + age + ")";
    }
}

and

List<String> names = Lists.newArrayList("Alice", "Bob", "Charles");
List<Integer> ages = Lists.newArrayList(42, 27, 31);

List<Person> persons =
    transform with a function that converts (String, Integer) to Person
System.out.println(persons);

Would output:

[(Alice, 42), (Bob, 27), (Charles, 31)]

Answer 1

As of Guava 21, this is possible via Streams.zip():

List<Person> persons = Streams.zip(names.stream(), ages.stream(), Person::new)
                              .collect(Collectors.toList());
