Lists in Java Spring Web and with the Streams API, are they guaranteed to be array-backed?
I am quite confused when working with Java Spring Web as well as the Streams API regarding what kind of Lists are being provided. Especially in the cases when I call Streams.toList() and if I specify a request body to contain a List. Will these lists be backed by arrays in order to provide constant time access? I previously just assumed (not sure why) that they returned Linked Lists, but I have gotten to a point where I need to use .get() on my lists which worries me about performance.
