I recently learnt about the benefits of EnumMap in Java and would like to replace the existing ImmutableMap<OccupancyType, BigDecimal>
to EnumMap. However, I'd also like the immutable property offered by ImmutableMap.
Guava contributor here.
Guava doesn't currently have an ImmutableEnumMap
variant, but if it did, it would probably just be a wrapper around an EnumMap
. (That said, slightly better immutable implementations are possible.)
EnumMap
will perform better than the basic ImmutableMap
, in any event; it's difficult or impossible to beat.
(I'll file an issue to investigate adding an ImmutableMap
variant for enum key types, though.)
Update: Guava 14 adds Maps.immutableEnumMap()
.
