All Superinterfaces:

io.opentelemetry.context.ImplicitContextKeyed
```
@Immutable
public interface Baggage
extends io.opentelemetry.context.ImplicitContextKeyed
```
A map from String to BaggageEntry that can be used to label anything that is associated with a specific operation.
For example, Baggages can be used to label stats, log messages, or debugging information.
Implementations of this interface *must* be immutable and have well-defined value-based equals/hashCode implementations. If an implementation does not strictly conform to these requirements, behavior of the OpenTelemetry APIs and default SDK cannot be guaranteed.
For this reason, it is strongly suggested that you use the implementation that is provided here via the factory methods and the BaggageBuilder.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Map<String,BaggageEntry>`	`asMap()`	Returns a read-only view of this `Baggage` as a `Map`.
`static BaggageBuilder`	`builder()`	Creates a new `BaggageBuilder` for creating Baggage.
`static Baggage`	`current()`	Returns Baggage from the current `Context`, falling back to empty Baggage if none is in the current Context.
`static Baggage`	`empty()`	Baggage with no entries.
`void`	`forEach(BiConsumer<String,BaggageEntry> consumer)`	Iterates over all the entries in this `Baggage`.
`static Baggage`	`fromContext(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)`	Returns the `Baggage` from the specified `Context`, falling back to a empty `Baggage` if there is no baggage in the context.
`static Baggage`	`fromContextOrNull(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)`	Returns the `Baggage` from the specified `Context`, or `null` if there is no baggage in the context.
`String`	`getEntryValue(String entryKey)`	Returns the `String` value associated with the given key, without metadata.
`default boolean`	`isEmpty()`	Returns whether this `Baggage` is empty, containing no entries.
`int`	`size()`	Returns the number of entries in this `Baggage`.
`default io.opentelemetry.context.Context`	`storeInContext(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)`
`BaggageBuilder`	`toBuilder()`	Create a Builder pre-initialized with the contents of this Baggage.

- Method Detail
  - empty
```
static Baggage empty()
```
    Baggage with no entries.
  - builder
```
static BaggageBuilder builder()
```
    Creates a new BaggageBuilder for creating Baggage.
  - current
```
static Baggage current()
```
    Returns Baggage from the current Context, falling back to empty Baggage if none is in the current Context.
  - fromContext
```
static Baggage fromContext(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)
```
    Returns the Baggage from the specified Context, falling back to a empty Baggage if there is no baggage in the context.
  - fromContextOrNull
```
@Nullable
static Baggage fromContextOrNull(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)
```
    Returns the Baggage from the specified Context, or null if there is no baggage in the context.
  - storeInContext
```
default io.opentelemetry.context.Context storeInContext(io.opentelemetry.context.Context context)
```
    Specified by:
    
    storeInContext in interface io.opentelemetry.context.ImplicitContextKeyed
  - size
```
int size()
```
    Returns the number of entries in this Baggage.
  - isEmpty
```
default boolean isEmpty()
```
    Returns whether this Baggage is empty, containing no entries.
  - forEach
```
void forEach(BiConsumer<String,BaggageEntry> consumer)
```
    Iterates over all the entries in this Baggage.
  - asMap
```
Map<String,BaggageEntry> asMap()
```
    Returns a read-only view of this Baggage as a Map.
  - getEntryValue
```
@Nullable
String getEntryValue(String entryKey)
```
    Returns the String value associated with the given key, without metadata.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entryKey - entry key to return the value for.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value associated with the given key, or null if no Entry with the given entryKey is in this Baggage.
  - toBuilder
```
BaggageBuilder toBuilder()
```
    Create a Builder pre-initialized with the contents of this Baggage. The returned Builder will be set to not use an implicit parent, so any parent assignment must be done manually.
