/**
|
|
* An object that maps keys onto values. Keys cannot be duplicated. This
|
|
* interface replaces the obsolete {@link Dictionary} abstract class.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
*
|
|
* The map has three collection views, which are backed by the map
|
|
* (modifications on one show up on the other): a set of keys, a collection
|
|
* of values, and a set of key-value mappings. Some maps have a guaranteed
|
|
* order, but not all do.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: Be careful about using mutable keys. Behavior is unspecified if
|
|
* a key's comparison behavior is changed after the fact. As a corollary
|
|
* to this rule, don't use a Map as one of its own keys or values, as it makes
|
|
* hashCode and equals have undefined behavior.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
*
|
|
* All maps are recommended to provide a no argument constructor, which builds
|
|
* an empty map, and one that accepts a Map parameter and copies the mappings
|
|
* (usually by putAll), to create an equivalent map. Unfortunately, Java
|
|
* cannot enforce these suggestions.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
*
|
|
* The map may be unmodifiable, in which case unsupported operations will
|
|
* throw an UnsupportedOperationException. Note that some operations may be
|
|
* safe, such as putAll(m) where m is empty, even if the operation would
|
|
* normally fail with a non-empty argument.
