Method Details
- size
  
  int size()
  
  Returns the number of elements in this immutable collection. If this immutable collection contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.
  
  Returns:
  
  the number of elements in this immutable collection
- isEmpty
  
  boolean isEmpty()
  
  Returns true if this immutable collection contains no elements.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this immutable collection contains no elements
- containsKey
  
  boolean containsKey(Object key)
  
  Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. More formally, returns true if and only if this map contains a mapping for a key k such that (key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k)). (There can be at most one such mapping.)
  
  Parameters:
  
  key - Object; key whose presence in this map is to be tested
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key
  
  Throws:
  
  ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys
- containsValue
  
  boolean containsValue(Object value)
  
  Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns true if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value v such that (value==null ? v==null : value.equals(v)). This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations of the Map interface.
  
  Parameters:
  
  value - Object; value whose presence in this map is to be tested
  
  Returns:
  
  true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value
  
  Throws:
  
  ClassCastException - if the value is of an inappropriate type for this map
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified value is null and this map does not permit null values
- get
  
  V get(Object key)
  
  Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null 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.
  
  Parameters:
  
  key - Object; the key whose associated value is to be returned
  
  Returns:
  
  the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key
  
  Throws:
  
  ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys
- keySet
  
  ImmutableSet<K> keySet()
  
  Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map.
  
  Returns:
  
  an immutable set of the keys contained in this map
- entrySet
  
  ImmutableSet<ImmutableMap.ImmutableEntry<K,V>> entrySet()
  
  Returns a Set view of the entries contained in this map.
  
  Returns:
  
  an immutable set of the entries contained in this map
- values
  
  ImmutableCollection<V> values()
  
  Returns a ImmutableCollection view of the values contained in this map.
  
  Returns:
  
  an immutable collection view of the values contained in this map
- getOrDefault
  
  default V getOrDefault(Object key, V defaultValue)
  
  Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or defaultValue if this map contains no mapping for the key. The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
  
  Parameters:
  
  key - Object; the key whose associated value is to be returned
  
  defaultValue - V; the default mapping of the key
  
  Returns:
  
  the value to which the specified key is mapped, or defaultValue if this map contains no mapping for the key
  
  Throws:
  
  ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified key is null and this map does not permit null keys
- forEach
  
  default void forEach(BiConsumer<? super K,? super V> action)
  
  Performs the given action for each entry in this map until all entries have been processed or the action throws an exception. Unless otherwise specified by the implementing class, actions are performed in the order of entry set iteration (if an iteration order is specified.) Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller. The default implementation makes no guarantees about synchronization or atomicity properties of this method. Any implementation providing atomicity guarantees must override this method and document its concurrency properties.
  
  Parameters:
  
  action - BiConsumer<? super K,? super V>; The action to be performed for each entry
  
  Throws:
  
  NullPointerException - if the specified action is null
  
  ConcurrentModificationException - if an entry is found to be removed during iteration
- toMap
  
  Map<K,V> toMap()
  
  Returns a modifiable copy of this immutable list.
  
  Returns:
  
  a modifiable copy of this immutable list.
- equals
  
  boolean equals(Object obj)
  
  Force to redefine equals for the implementations of immutable collection classes.
  
  Overrides:
  
  equals in class Object
  
  Parameters:
  
  obj - Object; the object to compare this collection with
  
  Returns:
  
  whether the objects are equal
- hashCode
  
  int hashCode()
  
  Force to redefine hashCode for the implementations of immutable collection classes.
  
  Overrides:
  
  hashCode in class Object
  
  Returns:
  
  the calculated hashCode
- isWrap
  
  boolean isWrap()
  
  Return whether the internal storage is a wrapped pointer to the original map. If true, this means that anyone holding a pointer to this data structure can still change it. The users of the ImmutableMap itself can, however, not make any changes.
  
  Returns:
  
  boolean; whether the internal storage is a wrapped pointer to the original map
- isCopy
  
  default boolean isCopy()
  
  Return whether the internal storage is a (shallow) copy of the original map. If true, this means that anyone holding a pointer to the original of the data structure can not change it anymore. Nor can the users of the ImmutableMap itself make any changes.
  
  Returns:
  
  boolean; whether the internal storage is a safe copy of the original map
- toString
  
  String toString()
  
  Force to redefine toString.
  
  Overrides:
  
  toString in class Object
  
  Returns:
  
  String; a description of this immutable list
