@GwtCompatible(serializable=true,

public abstract class ImmutableMap<K,V>
extends Object
implements Map<K,V>, Serializable

An immutable, hash-based Map with reliable user-specified iteration order. Does not permit null keys or values.

Unlike Collections.unmodifiableMap(java.util.Map), which is a view of a separate map which can still change, an instance of ImmutableMap contains its own data and will never change. ImmutableMap is convenient for public static final maps ("constant maps") and also lets you easily make a "defensive copy" of a map provided to your class by a caller.

Performance notes: unlike HashMap, ImmutableMap is not optimized for element types that have slow Object.equals(java.lang.Object) or Object.hashCode() implementations. You can get better performance by having your element type cache its own hash codes, and by making use of the cached values to short-circuit a slow equals algorithm.

Method Detail

of

public static <K,V> ImmutableMap<K,V> of()
Returns the empty map. This map behaves and performs comparably to Collections.emptyMap(), and is preferable mainly for consistency and maintainability of your code.


of

public static <K,V> ImmutableMap<K,V> of(K k1,
                                         V v1)
Returns an immutable map containing a single entry. This map behaves and performs comparably to Collections.singletonMap(K, V) but will not accept a null key or value. It is preferable mainly for consistency and maintainability of your code.


of

public static <K,V> ImmutableMap<K,V> of(K k1,
                                         V v1,

                                         V v2)
Returns an immutable map containing the given entries, in order.

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if duplicate keys are provided

Returns an immutable map containing the given entries, in order.

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if duplicate keys are provided

builder

public static <K,V> ImmutableMap.Builder<K,V> builder()
Returns a new builder. The generated builder is equivalent to the builder created by the ImmutableMap.Builder constructor.


copyOf

public static <K,V> ImmutableMap<K,V> copyOf(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)
Returns an immutable map containing the same entries as map. If map somehow contains entries with duplicate keys (for example, if it is a SortedMap whose comparator is not consistent with equals), the results of this method are undefined.

Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are undocumented and subject to change.

Throws:
NullPointerException - if any key or value in map is null

put

public final V put(K k,
                   V v)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the map unmodified.

Specified by:
put in interface Map<K,V>
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

remove

public final V remove(Object o)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the map unmodified.

Specified by:
remove in interface Map<K,V>
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

putAll

public final void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> map)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the map unmodified.

Specified by:
putAll in interface Map<K,V>
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

clear

public final void clear()
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the map unmodified.

Specified by:
clear in interface Map<K,V>
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

isEmpty

                                      Object value)
Specified by:
containsValue in interface Map<K,V>

get

public abstract V get(@Nullable
                      Object key)
Specified by:
get in interface Map<K,V>

entrySet

public abstract ImmutableSet<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()
Returns an immutable set of the mappings in this map. The entries are in the same order as the parameters used to build this map.

Specified by:
entrySet in interface Map<K,V>

keySet

public abstract ImmutableSet<K> keySet()
Returns an immutable set of the keys in this map. These keys are in the same order as the parameters used to build this map.

Specified by:
keySet in interface Map<K,V>

values

public abstract ImmutableCollection<V> values()
Returns an immutable collection of the values in this map. The values are in the same order as the parameters used to build this map.
