- Method Detail
  - synchronize
```
public static <T extends CharSequence> StringMap<T> synchronize(StringMap<T> stringMap)
```
    Returns a synchronized string map backed by the given string map.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stringMap - the string map to be wrapped in a synchronized map.
    
    Returns:
    
    a synchronized view of the specified string map.
  - synchronize
```
public static <T extends CharSequence> PrefixMap<T> synchronize(PrefixMap<T> prefixMap)
```
    Returns a synchronized prefix map backed by the given prefix map.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefixMap - the prefix map to be wrapped in a synchronized map.
    
    Returns:
    
    a synchronized view of the specified prefix map.
  - wrap
```
public static <T extends CharSequence> StringMap<T> wrap(StringMap<T> stringMap)
```
    Returns an immutable (big) StringMap view of a standard StringMap.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stringMap - a string map.
    
    Returns:
    
    a StringMap view of stringMap.
  - wrap
```
public static <T extends CharSequence> PrefixMap<T> wrap(PrefixMap<T> prefixMap)
```
    Returns an immutable (big) PrefixMap view of a standard PrefixMap. Note that the returned prefix map does not implement PrefixMap.prefixMap().
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefixMap - a prefix map.
    
    Returns:
    
    a PrefixMap view of prefixMap.
