/**
 * A collection that maps keys to values, similar to {@link Map}, but in which
 * each key may be associated with multiple values. You can visualize the
 * contents of a multimap either as a map from keys to nonempty
 * collections of values:
 *
 * 
    *
  • a → 1, 2 *
  • b → 3 *
* * ... or as a single "flattened" collection of key-value pairs: * *
    *
  • a → 1 *
  • a → 2 *
  • b → 3 *
* *

Important: although the first interpretation resembles how most * multimaps are implemented, the design of the {@code Multimap} API is * based on the second form. So, using the multimap shown above as an * example, the {@link #size} is {@code 3}, not {@code 2}, and the {@link * #values} collection is {@code [1, 2, 3]}, not {@code [[1, 2], [3]]}. For * those times when the first style is more useful, use the multimap's {@link * #asMap} view (or create a {@code Map>} in the first place). * *

Example

* *

The following code:

   {@code
 *
 *   ListMultimap multimap = ArrayListMultimap.create();
 *   for (President pres : US_PRESIDENTS_IN_ORDER) {
 *     multimap.put(pres.firstName(), pres.lastName());
 *   }
 *   for (String firstName : multimap.keySet()) {
 *     List lastNames = multimap.get(firstName);
 *     out.println(firstName + ": " + lastNames);
 *   }}
* * ... produces output such as:
   {@code
 *
 *   Zachary: [Taylor]
 *   John: [Adams, Adams, Tyler, Kennedy]  // Remember, Quincy!
 *   George: [Washington, Bush, Bush]
 *   Grover: [Cleveland, Cleveland]        // Two, non-consecutive terms, rep'ing NJ!
 *   ...}
* *

Views

* *

Much of the power of the multimap API comes from the view * collections it provides. These always reflect the latest state of the * multimap itself. When they support modification, the changes are * write-through (they automatically update the backing multimap). These * view collections are: * *

    *
  • {@link #asMap}, mentioned above
  • *
  • {@link #keys}, {@link #keySet}, {@link #values}, {@link #entries}, which * are similar to the corresponding view collections of {@link Map} *
  • and, notably, even the collection returned by {@link #get get(key)} is an * active view of the values corresponding to {@code key} *
* *

The collections returned by the {@link #replaceValues replaceValues} and * {@link #removeAll removeAll} methods, which contain values that have just * been removed from the multimap, are naturally not views. * *

Subinterfaces

* *

Instead of using the {@code Multimap} interface directly, prefer the * subinterfaces {@link ListMultimap} and {@link SetMultimap}. These take their * names from the fact that the collections they return from {@code get} behave * like (and, of course, implement) {@link List} and {@link Set}, respectively. * *

For example, the "presidents" code snippet above used a {@code * ListMultimap}; if it had used a {@code SetMultimap} instead, two presidents * would have vanished, and last names might or might not appear in * chronological order. * *

Warning: instances of type {@code Multimap} may not implement * {@link Object#equals} in the way you expect. Multimaps containing the same * key-value pairs, even in the same order, may or may not be equal and may or * may not have the same {@code hashCode}. The recommended subinterfaces * provide much stronger guarantees. * *

Comparison to a map of collections

* *

Multimaps are commonly used in places where a {@code Map>} would otherwise have appeared. The differences include: * *

    *
  • There is no need to populate an empty collection before adding an entry * with {@link #put put}. *
  • {@code get} never returns {@code null}, only an empty collection. *
  • A key is contained in the multimap if and only if it maps to at least * one value. Any operation that causes a key to have zero associated * values has the effect of removing that key from the multimap. *
  • The total entry count is available as {@link #size}. *
  • Many complex operations become easier; for example, {@code * Collections.min(multimap.values())} finds the smallest value across all * keys. *
* *

Implementations

* *

As always, prefer the immutable implementations, {@link * ImmutableListMultimap} and {@link ImmutableSetMultimap}. General-purpose * mutable implementations are listed above under "All Known Implementing * Classes". You can also create a custom multimap, backed by any {@code * Map} and {@link Collection} types, using the {@link Multimaps#newMultimap * Multimaps.newMultimap} family of methods. Finally, another popular way to * obtain a multimap is using {@link Multimaps#index Multimaps.index}. See * the {@link Multimaps} class for these and other static utilities related * to multimaps. * *

Other Notes

* *

As with {@code Map}, the behavior of a {@code Multimap} is not specified * if key objects already present in the multimap change in a manner that * affects {@code equals} comparisons. Use caution if mutable objects are used * as keys in a {@code Multimap}. * *

All methods that modify the multimap are optional. The view collections * returned by the multimap may or may not be modifiable. Any modification * method that is not supported will throw {@link * UnsupportedOperationException}. * *
