Iterator en Java

Iterator es un patrón de diseño de comportamiento que permite el recorrido secuencial por una estructura de datos compleja sin exponer sus detalles internos.

Gracias al patrón Iterator, los clientes pueden recorrer elementos de colecciones diferentes de un modo similar, utilizando una única interfaz iteradora.

Complejidad:

Popularidad:

Ejemplos de uso: El patrón es muy común en el código Java. Muchos frameworks y bibliotecas lo utilizan para proporcionar una forma estandarizada de recorrer sus colecciones.

Aquí tienes algunos ejemplos de bibliotecas centrales de Java:

Todas las implementaciones de java.util.Iterator (también java.util.Scanner).
Todas las implementaciones java.util.Enumeration.

Identificación: El patrón Iterator es fácil de reconocer por sus métodos de navegación (como next, previous y otros). El código cliente que utiliza iteradores puede no tener acceso directo a la colección recorrida.

Iteración en perfiles de redes sociales

En este ejemplo, el patrón Iterator se utiliza para recorrer perfiles sociales de una colección remota de una red social, sin exponer los detalles de la comunicación al código cliente.
