Class Joiner.MapJoiner

  • Enclosing class:
    Joiner

    public static final class Joiner.MapJoiner
    extends java.lang.Object
    An object that joins map entries in the same manner as Joiner joins iterables and arrays. Like Joiner, it is thread-safe and immutable.

    In addition to operating on Map instances, MapJoiner can operate on Multimap entries in two distinct modes:

    • To output a separate entry for each key-value pair, pass multimap.entries() to a MapJoiner method that accepts entries as input, and receive output of the form key1=A&key1=B&key2=C.
    • To output a single entry for each key, pass multimap.asMap() to a MapJoiner method that accepts a map as input, and receive output of the form key1=[A, B]&key2=C.
