假设您必须返回一个集合，并且您不想每次都创建几个对象。

interface Configurable {
    List<String> getConfigurationList();
}

// class which doesn't have any configuration
class SimpleConfigurable implements Configurable {
    public List<String> getConfigurationList() { return Collections.emptyList(); }
}

返回空集合通常比返回更可取 null
