Returns true if the given objects are considered equivalent.

This method describes an equivalence relation on object references, meaning that for all references x, y, and z (any of which may be null):

  • equivalent(x, x) is true (reflexive property)
  • equivalent(x, y) and equivalent(y, x) each return the same result (symmetric property)
  • If equivalent(x, y) and equivalent(y, z) are both true, then equivalent(x, z) is also true (transitive property)

Note that all calls to equivalent(x, y) are expected to return the same result as long as neither x nor y is modified.

/** * Returns {@code true} if the given objects are considered equivalent. * * <p>This method describes an <i>equivalence relation</i> on object references, meaning that for * all references {@code x}, {@code y}, and {@code z} (any of which may be null): * * <ul> * <li>{@code equivalent(x, x)} is true (<i>reflexive</i> property) * <li>{@code equivalent(x, y)} and {@code equivalent(y, x)} each return the same result * (<i>symmetric</i> property) * <li>If {@code equivalent(x, y)} and {@code equivalent(y, z)} are both true, then {@code * equivalent(x, z)} is also true (<i>transitive</i> property) * </ul> * * <p>Note that all calls to {@code equivalent(x, y)} are expected to return the same result as * long as neither {@code x} nor {@code y} is modified. */

Implemented by the user to determine whether a and b are considered equivalent, subject to the requirements specified in equivalent.

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.

Returns a new equivalence relation for F which evaluates equivalence by first applying function to the argument, then evaluating using this. That is, for any pair of non-null objects x and y, equivalence.onResultOf(function).equivalent(a, b) is true if and only if equivalence.equivalent(function.apply(a), function.apply(b)) is true.

For example:


Equivalence<Person> SAME_AGE = Equivalence.equals().onResultOf(GET_PERSON_AGE);

function will never be invoked with a null value.

Note that function must be consistent according to this equivalence relation. That is, invoking Function.apply multiple times for a given value must return equivalent results. For example, Equivalence.identity().onResultOf(Functions.toStringFunction()) is broken because it's not guaranteed that Object.toString) always returns the same string instance.

Wraps an object so that equals(Object) and hashCode() delegate to an Equivalence.

For example, given an Equivalence for strings named equiv that tests equivalence using their lengths:


equiv.wrap("a").equals(equiv.wrap("b")) // true

Note in particular that an equivalence wrapper is never equal to the object it wraps.
