- Method Detail
  - deepCopy
```
T deepCopy()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns a deep copy of this. A deep copy is equal to the original, but side effects to either object are not visible in the other. A deep copy may share immutable state with the original.
    The run-time class of the result is identical to the run-time class of this. The deep copy is equal to this (per equals() if the object's class does not use reference equality as Object.equals() does).
    
    Returns:
    
    a deep copy of this
  - deepCopyOrNull
```
static <T2 extends @Nullable DeepCopyable<T2>> @PolyNull T2 deepCopyOrNull(@PolyNull T2 object)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Returns the deep copy of a non-null argument, or null for a null argument.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T2 - the type of the object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - object to copy
    
    Returns:
    
    the deep copy of a non-null argument, or null for a null argument
