Class Joiner.MapJoiner

java.lang.Object

com.google.common.base.Joiner.MapJoiner

Enclosing class:

Joiner

public static final class Joiner.MapJoiner
extends 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.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<A extends Appendable> A	appendTo(A appendable, Iterable<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> entries)	Appends the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to appendable.
<A extends Appendable> A	appendTo(A appendable, Iterator<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> parts)	Appends the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to appendable.
<A extends Appendable> A	appendTo(A appendable, Map<?,?> map)	Appends the string representation of each entry of map, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to appendable.
StringBuilder	appendTo(StringBuilder builder, Iterable<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> entries)	Appends the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to builder.
StringBuilder	appendTo(StringBuilder builder, Iterator<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> entries)	Appends the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to builder.
StringBuilder	appendTo(StringBuilder builder, Map<?,?> map)	Appends the string representation of each entry of map, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator, to builder.
String	join(Iterable<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> entries)	Returns a string containing the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator.
String	join(Iterator<? extends Map.Entry<?,?>> entries)	Returns a string containing the string representation of each entry in entries, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator.
String	join(Map<?,?> map)	Returns a string containing the string representation of each entry of map, using the previously configured separator and key-value separator.
Joiner.MapJoiner	useForNull(String nullText)	Returns a map joiner with the same behavior as this one, except automatically substituting nullText for any provided null keys or values.

appendTo

public <A extends Appendable> A appendTo(A appendable,
                                         Map<?,?> map)
                                  throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

appendTo
