is there isEmpty in Guava?

Question

Is there any equivalent in google Guava for apache commons' CollectionUtils.isEmpty(list) to check if a collection is null or empty?

Answer 1

To check if Collection is both null and empty, you must do null check by yourself. Guava devs advocate not to use nulls for Collections at all - see IdeaGraveyard on Guava Wiki:

Prefer to return empty collections instead of null. Then a plain isEmpty check will suffice.

See this SO answer by Guava's lead dev.
