ImmutableMultimap (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 22.0-android 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
```
A Multimap whose contents will never change, with many other important properties detailed at ImmutableCollection.
Warning: avoid direct usage of ImmutableMultimap as a type (as with Multimap itself). Prefer subtypes such as ImmutableSetMultimap or ImmutableListMultimap, which have well-defined equals(java.lang.Object) semantics, thus avoiding a common source of bugs and confusion.
Note: every ImmutableMultimap offers an inverse() view, so there is no need for a distinct ImmutableBiMultimap type.
Key-grouped iteration. All view collections follow the same iteration order. In all current implementations, the iteration order always keeps multiple entries with the same key together. Any creation method that would customarily respect insertion order (such as copyOf(Multimap)) instead preserves key-grouped order by inserting entries for an existing key immediately after the last entry having that key.
See the Guava User Guide article on immutable collections.

```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns the number of key-value pairs in this multimap.
    Note: this method does not return the number of distinct keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size() or asMap().size(). See the opening section of the Multimap class documentation for clarification.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - keySet
```
public ImmutableSet<K> keySet()
```
    Returns an immutable set of the distinct keys in this multimap, in the same order as they appear in this multimap.

```
public ImmutableMap<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
```
    Returns an immutable map that associates each key with its corresponding values in the multimap. Keys and values appear in the same order as in this multimap.

  - values
```
public ImmutableCollection<V> values()
```
    Returns an immutable collection of the values in this multimap. Its iterator traverses the values for the first key, the values for the second key, and so on.
    
    Specified by:
    
    values in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains no key-value pairs. Equivalent to size() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.

  - 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
