Using min on the stream we can find the shortest string from an array. The following code shows how to do that

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class JavaArrays {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String[] array = { "blue", "red", "green" };
		String result = Arrays.stream(array).min(Comparator.comparingInt(String::length)).get();
		System.out.println(result);
	}
}

Output:

red
