Method Detail

combine

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,V> combine(java.util.Map<K,V> map1,
                                               java.util.Map<K,V> map2)

Returns a Map that is composed of map1 and map2. Map2 is never modified.

augment

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,V> augment(java.util.Map<K,V> delegate,
                                               K extraKey,
                                               V extraValue)

Returns a Map that is composed of the delegate and one extra entry.

equal

public static boolean equal(@Nullable
                            java.lang.Object o1,
                            @Nullable
                            java.lang.Object o2)

The often-needed "equal" method that handles null references.

Redeemed by java.util.Objects.equals(Object, Object) which is available since Java 1.7.

fromMappings

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,V> fromMappings(java.lang.Object... keysAndValues)

Parameters:

keysAndValues - An even-sized array filled alternatingly with objects of type K and V

Returns:

An unmodifiable Map populated from the given key/value pairs
