extends Object
```
Implementation of Multimap whose keys and values are ordered by their natural ordering or by supplied comparators. In all cases, this implementation uses Comparable.compareTo(T) or Comparator.compare(T, T) instead of Object.equals(java.lang.Object) to determine equivalence of instances.
Warning: The comparators or comparables used must be consistent with equals as explained by the Comparable class specification. Otherwise, the resulting multiset will violate the general contract of SetMultimap, which it is specified in terms of Object.equals(java.lang.Object).
The collections returned by keySet and asMap iterate through the keys according to the key comparator ordering or the natural ordering of the keys. Similarly, get, removeAll, and replaceValues return collections that iterate through the values according to the value comparator ordering or the natural ordering of the values. The collections generated by entries, keys, and values iterate across the keys according to the above key ordering, and for each key they iterate across the values according to the value ordering.
The multimap does not store duplicate key-value pairs. Adding a new key-value pair equal to an existing key-value pair has no effect.
Null keys and values are permitted (provided, of course, that the respective comparators support them). All optional multimap methods are supported, and all returned views are modifiable.
This class is not threadsafe when any concurrent operations update the multimap. Concurrent read operations will work correctly. To allow concurrent update operations, wrap your multimap with a call to Multimaps.synchronizedSortedSetMultimap(com.google.common.collect.SortedSetMultimap<K, V>).

```
public static <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> TreeMultimap<K,V> create()
```
    Creates an empty TreeMultimap ordered by the natural ordering of its keys and values.
  - create
```
public static <K,V> TreeMultimap<K,V> create(Comparator<? super K> keyComparator,
                                             Comparator<? super V> valueComparator)
```
    Creates an empty TreeMultimap instance using explicit comparators. Neither comparator may be null; use Ordering.natural() to specify natural order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keyComparator - the comparator that determines the key ordering
    
    valueComparator - the comparator that determines the value ordering
  - create
```
public static <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> TreeMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
```
    Constructs a TreeMultimap, ordered by the natural ordering of its keys and values, with the same mappings as the specified multimap.
    
    Parameters:
    
    multimap - the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap
  - keyComparator
```
@Deprecated
public Comparator<? super K> keyComparator()
```
    Deprecated. Use ((NavigableSet<K>) multimap.keySet()).comparator() instead.
    
    Returns the comparator that orders the multimap keys.
  - valueComparator
```
public Comparator<? super V> valueComparator()
```
    Description copied from interface: SortedSetMultimap
    
    Returns the comparator that orders the multimap values, with null indicating that natural ordering is used.
  - get
```
@GwtIncompatible
public NavigableSet<V> get(@Nullable
                                            K key)
```
    Returns a collection view of all values associated with a key. If no mappings in the multimap have the provided key, an empty collection is returned.
    Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.
    Because a SortedSetMultimap has unique sorted values for a given key, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

  - keySet
```
public NavigableSet<K> keySet()
```
    Returns a view collection of all distinct keys contained in this multimap. Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.
    Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.

  - asMap
```
public NavigableMap<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
```
    Returns a map view that associates each key with the corresponding values in the multimap. Changes to the returned map, such as element removal, will update the underlying multimap. The map does not support setValue on its entries, put, or putAll.
    When passed a key that is present in the map, asMap().get(Object) has the same behavior as get(K), returning a live collection. When passed a key that is not present, however, asMap().get(Object) returns null instead of an empty collection.
    Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly, the returned map has SortedSet values.

  - removeAll
```
public SortedSet<V> removeAll(@Nullable
                              Object key)
```
    Removes all values associated with a given key. The returned collection is immutable.
    Because a SortedSetMultimap has unique sorted values for a given key, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    the values that were removed (possibly empty). The returned collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
  - replaceValues
```
public SortedSet<V> replaceValues(@Nullable
                                  K key,
                                  Iterable<? extends V> values)
```
    Stores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key. The returned collection is immutable.
    Because a SortedSetMultimap has unique sorted values for a given key, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    Any duplicates in values will be stored in the multimap once.
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    the collection of replaced values, or an empty collection if no values were previously associated with the key. The collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
  - values
```
public Collection<V> values()
```
    Returns a view collection containing the value from each key-value pair contained in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates (so values().size() == size()).
    Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
    The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on. Consequently, the values do not follow their natural ordering or the ordering of the value comparator.
    
    Specified by:
    
    values in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - entries
```
public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
```
    Returns a view collection of all key-value pairs contained in this multimap, as Map.Entry instances.
    Changes to the returned collection or the entries it contains will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
    The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on.
    Each entry is an immutable snapshot of a key-value mapping in the multimap, taken at the time the entry is returned by a method call to the collection or its iterator.
    Because a SetMultimap has unique values for a given key, this method returns a Set, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

                   @Nullable
                   V value)
```
    Stores a key-value pair in the multimap.
    
    Specified by:
    
    put in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to store in the multimap
    
    value - value to store in the multimap
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the method increased the size of the multimap, or false if the multimap already contained the key-value pair
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      Object object)
```
    Compares the specified object to this multimap for equality.
    Two SetMultimap instances are equal if, for each key, they contain the same values. Equality does not depend on the ordering of keys or values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

  - size
```
public int size()
```
    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:
    
    clear in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - forEach
```
public void forEach(BiConsumer<? super K,? super V> action)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Performs the given action for all key-value pairs contained in this multimap. If an ordering is specified by the Multimap implementation, actions will be performed in the order of iteration of Multimap.entries(). Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.
    To loop over all keys and their associated value collections, write Multimaps.asMap(multimap).forEach((key, valueCollection) -> action()).
    
    Specified by:
    
    forEach 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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsValue
```
public boolean containsValue(@Nullable
                             Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the value value.
    
    Specified by:

                      @Nullable
                      Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Removes a single key-value pair with the key key and the value value from this multimap, if such exists. If multiple key-value pairs in the multimap fit this description, which one is removed is unspecified.

    remove in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed

```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    Stores a key-value pair in this multimap for each of values, all using the same key, key. Equivalent to (but expected to be more efficient than):
```
   

   for (V value : values) {
     put(key, value);
   }
```
    In particular, this is a no-op if values is empty.
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>

    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - keys
```
public Multiset<K> keys()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view collection containing the key from each key-value pair in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates. This collection has the same size as this multimap, and keys().count(k) == get(k).size() for all k.
    Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keys in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this multimap.

    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
