The get() method in the Groovy enhanced Map interface accepts two parameters. The first parameter is the name of the key we want to get a value for. And the second parameter is the default value if there is no value for the key.
// Simple map.
def m = [name: 'mrhaki', language: 'Groovy']
assert 'mrhaki' == m.getAt('name')
assert 'mrhaki' == m['name']
assert 'Groovy' == m.language
assert 'mrhaki' == m."name"
assert 'mrhaki' == m.get('name') // We can omit the default value if we know the key exists.
assert 'Groovy' == m.get('language', 'Java')
assert null == m.get('expression') // Non-existing key in map.
assert 'rocks' == m.get('expression', 'rocks') // Use default value, this also creates the key/value pair in the map.
assert 'rocks' == m.get('expression')
assert [name: 'mrhaki', language: 'Groovy', expression: 'rocks'] == m
