This project was inspired on kotlinx.collections.immutable so it shares some concepts from that project.

The main difference is that PlateStack's immutable-collections does not requires any additional dependency, everything is built on top of the Java 8 collection API.

This project also has more extension functions to blend with Kotlin's STD lib. For example, If you see a toList() from Kotlin's STD LIB you should also see a toImmutableList() from PlateStack's Immutable Collections.

This library also introduces immutable interfaces for SortedSet, NavigableSet, SortedMap and NavigableMap. Kotlin has no read-only interface for that types, so our immutable version does not extends the original types but they mimic them without exposing modification methods.

The KDoc is shared in the kdoc branch and the JavaDoc in http://platestack.github.io/immutable-collections.
