@GwtCompatible(serializable=true, emulated=true) public abstract class ImmutableMap<K,V> extends Object implements Map<K,V>, Serializable
Map with reliable user-specified iteration
 order. Does not permit null keys or values.
 Unlike Collections.unmodifiableMap(java.util.Map<? extends K, ? extends V>), 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.

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.

java.util.Mapnull if this map contains no mapping for the key.
 More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key
 k to a value v such that (key==null ? k==null :
 key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise
 it returns null.  (There can be at most one such mapping.)
 
If this map permits null values, then a return value of
 null does not necessarily indicate that the map
 contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map
 explicitly maps the key to null.  The containsKey operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

public boolean equals(@Nullable Object object)
java.lang.Object
 The equals method implements an equivalence relation
 on non-null object references:
 
x, x.equals(x) should return
     true.
 x and y, x.equals(y)
     should return true if and only if
     y.equals(x) returns true.
 x, y, and z, if
     x.equals(y) returns true and
     y.equals(z) returns true, then
     x.equals(z) should return true.
 x and y, multiple invocations of
     x.equals(y) consistently return true
     or consistently return false, provided no
     information used in equals comparisons on the
     objects is modified.
 x,
     x.equals(null) should return false.
 
 The equals method for class Object implements
 the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
 that is, for any non-null reference values x and
 y, this method returns true if and only
 if x and y refer to the same object
 (x == y has the value true).
 
 Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode
 method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
 general contract for the hashCode method, which states
 that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
public int hashCode()
java.lang.ObjectHashMap.
 
 The general contract of hashCode is:
 
hashCode method
     must consistently return the same integer, provided no information
     used in equals comparisons on the object is modified.
     This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an
     application to another execution of the same application.
 equals(Object)
     method, then calling the hashCode method on each of
     the two objects must produce the same integer result.
 Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
     method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the
     two objects must produce distinct integer results.  However, the
     programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results
     for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
 
 As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by
 class Object does return distinct integers for distinct
 objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal
 address of the object into an integer, but this implementation
 technique is not required by the
 JavaTM programming language.)
hashCode in interface Map<K,V>hashCode in class ObjectObject.equals(java.lang.Object), 
System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)public String toString()
java.lang.ObjecttoString method returns a string that
 "textually represents" this object. The result should
 be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a
 person to read.
 It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.
 
 The toString method for class Object
 returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the
 object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and
 the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the
 object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the
 value of:
 
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
