- ## Method Details

  - ### asEntryWeigher

    public static <K, V> EntryWeigher<K,V> asEntryWeigher(Weigher<? super V> weigher)
    A entry weigher backed by the specified weigher. The weight of the value determines the weight of the entry.
    Parameters:
      `weigher` - the weigher to be "wrapped" in a entry weigher.
    Returns:
      A entry weigher view of the specified weigher.

  - ### entrySingleton

    public static <K, V> EntryWeigher<K,V> entrySingleton()
    A weigher where an entry has a weight of `1`. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of key-value pairs exceeds the capacity.
    Returns:
      A weigher where a value takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### singleton

    public static <V> Weigher<V> singleton()
    A weigher where a value has a weight of `1`. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of key-value pairs exceeds the capacity.
    Returns:
      A weigher where a value takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### byteArray

    public static Weigher<byte[]> byteArray()
    A weigher where the value is a byte array and its weight is the number of bytes. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of bytes exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map. This allows for restricting the capacity based on the memory-consumption and is primarily for usage by dedicated caching servers that hold the serialized data.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each byte takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### iterable

    public static <E> Weigher<? super Iterable<E>> iterable()
    A weigher where the value is a `Iterable` and its weight is the number of elements. This weigher only should be used when the alternative `collection()` weigher cannot be, as evaluation takes O(n) time. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### collection

    public static <E> Weigher<? super Collection<E>> collection()
    A weigher where the value is a `Collection` and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### list

    public static <E> Weigher<? super List<E>> list()
    A weigher where the value is a `List` and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### set

    public static <E> Weigher<? super Set<E>> set()
    A weigher where the value is a `Set` and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

  - ### map

    public static <A, B> Weigher<? super Map<A,B>> map()
    A weigher where the value is a `Map` and its weight is the number of entries. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of entries across all values exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

    A value with a weight of `0` will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

    Returns:
      A weigher where each entry takes one unit of capacity.
