ImmutableMultimap (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 14.0.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMultimap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Multimap<K,V>, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ImmutableListMultimap, ImmutableSetMultimap
```
@GwtCompatible(emulated=true)
public abstract class ImmutableMultimap<K,V>
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
An immutable Multimap. Does not permit null keys or values.
Unlike Multimaps.unmodifiableMultimap(Multimap), which is a view of a separate multimap which can still change, an instance of ImmutableMultimap contains its own data and will never change. ImmutableMultimap is convenient for public static final multimaps ("constant multimaps") and also lets you easily make a "defensive copy" of a multimap provided to your class by a caller.
Note: Although this class is not final, it cannot be subclassed as it has no public or protected constructors. Thus, instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.
In addition to methods defined by Multimap, an inverse() method is also supported.
See the Guava User Guide article on immutable collections.

                    Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if the multimap contains the specified key-value pair.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsEntry in interface Multimap<K,V>

    value - value to search for in multimap
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable
             Object object)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Compares the specified object with this multimap for equality. Two multimaps are equal when their map views, as returned by Multimap.asMap(), are also equal.
    In general, two multimaps with identical key-value mappings may or may not be equal, depending on the implementation. For example, two SetMultimap instances with the same key-value mappings are equal, but equality of two ListMultimap instances depends on the ordering of the values for each key.
    A non-empty SetMultimap cannot be equal to a non-empty ListMultimap, since their Multimap.asMap() views contain unequal collections as values. However, any two empty multimaps are equal, because they both have empty Multimap.asMap() views.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this multimap.
    The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    See Also:
    Map.hashCode()
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by calling toString on the map returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    a string representation of the multimap
