Java Collections的emptyList、EMPTY_LIST详解与使用说明

return Collections.EMPTY_LIST;

/**
     * Returns the empty list (immutable).  This list is serializable.

     * <p>This example illustrates the type-safe way to obtain an empty list:
     * <pre>
     *     List&lt;String&gt; s = Collections.emptyList();
     * </pre>
     * Implementation note:  Implementations of this method need not
     * create a separate <tt>List</tt> object for each call.   Using this
     * method is likely to have comparable cost to using the like-named
     * field.  (Unlike this method, the field does not provide type safety.)
