/**
 * An immutable object that may contain a non-null reference to another object. Each
 * instance of this type either contains a non-null reference, or contains nothing (in
 * which case we say that the reference is "absent"); it is never said to "contain {@code
 * null}".
 *
 * 

A non-null {@code Optional} reference can be used as a replacement for a nullable * {@code T} reference. It allows you to represent "a {@code T} that must be present" and * a "a {@code T} that might be absent" as two distinct types in your program, which can * aid clarity. * *

Some uses of this class include * *

    *
  • As a method return type, as an alternative to returning {@code null} to indicate * that no value was available *
  • To distinguish between "unknown" (for example, not present in a map) and "known to * have no value" (present in the map, with value {@code Optional.absent()}) *
  • To wrap nullable references for storage in a collection that does not support * {@code null} (though there are * * several other approaches to this that should be considered first) *
* *

A common alternative to using this class is to find or create a suitable * null object for the * type in question. * *

This class is not intended as a direct analogue of any existing "option" or "maybe" * construct from other programming environments, though it may bear some similarities. * *

See the Guava User Guide article on * using {@code Optional}. * * @param the type of instance that can be contained. {@code Optional} is naturally * covariant on this type, so it is safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code * Optional} for any supertype {@code S} of {@code T}. * @author Kurt Alfred Kluever * @author Kevin Bourrillion * @since 10.0 */ @GwtCompatible(serializable = true) public abstract class Optional implements Serializable { /** * Returns an {@code Optional} instance with no contained reference. */ @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public static Optional absent() { return (Optional) Absent.INSTANCE; } /** * Returns an {@code Optional} instance containing the given non-null reference. */ public static Optional of(T reference) { return new Present(checkNotNull(reference)); } /** * If {@code nullableReference} is non-null, returns an {@code Optional} instance containing that * reference; otherwise returns {@link Optional#absent}. */ public static Optional fromNullable(@Nullable T nullableReference) { return (nullableReference == null) ?

If * no default value should be required because the instance is known to be present, use * {@link #get()} instead. For a default value of {@code null}, use {@link #orNull}. * *

Note about generics: The signature {@code public T or(T defaultValue)} is overly * restrictive. However, the ideal signature, {@code public S or(S)}, is not legal * Java. As a result, some sensible operations involving subtypes are compile errors: *

   {@code
   *
   *   Optional optionalInt = getSomeOptionalInt();
   *   Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // error
   *
   *   FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
   *   Optional first = numbers.first();
   *   Number value = first.or(0.5); // error}
* * As a workaround, it is always safe to cast an {@code Optional} to {@code * Optional}. Casting either of the above example {@code Optional} instances to {@code * Optional} (where {@code Number} is the desired output type) solves the problem: *
   {@code
   *
   *   Optional optionalInt = (Optional) getSomeOptionalInt();
   *   Number value = optionalInt.or(0.5); // fine
   *
   *   FluentIterable numbers = getSomeNumbers();
   *   Optional first = (Optional) numbers.first();
   *   Number value = first.or(0.5); // fine}
