# Replace Map::get by Map::getOrDefault

# Properties

# Description

Java 8 introduced Map::getOrDefault which offers the possibility to return a default value if the map does not contain a mapping for the given key. This rule replaces the invocations of Map::get followed by a null-check with Map::getOrDefault.

# Benefits

Makes the code more readable, by using Java 8 extensions of Map interface.
