public abstract class Equivalence<T> {
Returns an equivalence that delegates to Object.equals and Object.hashCode. equivalent returns true if both values are null, or if neither value is null and Object.equals returns true. hash returns 0 if passed a null value.

/** * Returns an equivalence that delegates to {@link Object#equals} and {@link Object#hashCode}. * {@link Equivalence#equivalent} returns {@code true} if both values are null, or if neither * value is null and {@link Object#equals} returns {@code true}. {@link Equivalence#hash} returns * {@code 0} if passed a null value. * * @since 4.0 (in Equivalences) */
public static Equivalence<Object> equals() { return Equals.INSTANCE; }
Returns an equivalence that uses == to compare values and System.identityHashCode(Object) to compute the hash code. equivalent returns true if a == b, including in the case that a and b are both null.
Since:4.0 (in Equivalences)
/** * Returns an equivalence that uses {@code ==} to compare values and {@link * System#identityHashCode(Object)} to compute the hash code. {@link Equivalence#equivalent} * returns {@code true} if {@code a == b}, including in the case that a and b are both null. * * @since 4.0 (in Equivalences) */
public static Equivalence<Object> identity() { return Identity.INSTANCE; }
Returns true if the given objects are considered equivalent.

The equivalent method implements an equivalence relation on object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any reference x, including null, equivalent(x, x) returns true.
  • It is symmetric: for any references x and y, equivalent(x, y) == equivalent(y, x).
  • It is transitive: for any references x, y, and z, if equivalent(x, y) returns true and equivalent(y, z) returns true, then equivalent(x, z) returns true.
  • It is consistent: for any references x and y, multiple invocations of equivalent(x, y) consistently return true or consistently return false (provided that neither x nor y is modified).

public final boolean equivalent(T a, T b) { if (a == b) { return true; } if (a == null || b == null) { return false; } return doEquivalent(a, b); }
Returns true if a and b are considered equivalent.

Called by equivalent. a and b are not the same object and are not nulls.

Since:10.0 (previously, subclasses would override equivalent())
/** * Returns {@code true} if {@code a} and {@code b} are considered equivalent. * <p> * <p>Called by {@link #equivalent}. {@code a} and {@code b} are not the same * object and are not nulls. * * @since 10.0 (previously, subclasses would override equivalent()) */
protected abstract boolean doEquivalent(T a, T b);
Returns a hash code for t.

The hash has the following properties:

  • It is consistent: for any reference x, multiple invocations of hash(x} consistently return the same value provided x remains unchanged according to the definition of the equivalence. The hash need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • It is distributable across equivalence: for any references x and y, if equivalent(x, y), then hash(x) == hash(y). It is not necessary that the hash be distributable across inequivalence. If equivalence(x, y) is false, hash(x) == hash(y) may still be true.
  • hash(null) is 0.
