Introduction
In this blog post, we will explore a simple and efficient way to split a List into smaller chunks using Java without needing any third-party libraries. This approach can be handy for dealing with large data sets and optimizing performance. Whether it's for efficient processing or easier data manipulation, splitting a list can be a valuable tool.
How to chunk a list in Java
In the following example, a list of fruits is split into two groups using Java Streams
and Collectors.groupingBy

Return a List of lists containing chunks
The following example is almost the same as the previous one except for line 13. On line 13, we use the ArrayList constructor to create a list that contains the lists of chunks.

Conclusion
While several third-party libraries and frameworks are available to accomplish this, it's possible to do it without relying on external dependencies. In this blog post, we have explored a simple approach to splitting a list using Java, which is easily adapted to different use cases.
