  33 /**
  34  * An object that maps keys to values.  A map cannot contain duplicate keys;
  35  * each key can map to at most one value.
  36  *
  37  * <p>This interface takes the place of the <tt>Dictionary</tt> class, which
  38  * was a totally abstract class rather than an interface.
  39  *
  40  * <p>The <tt>Map</tt> interface provides three <i>collection views</i>, which
  41  * allow a map's contents to be viewed as a set of keys, collection of values,
  42  * or set of key-value mappings.  The <i>order</i> of a map is defined as
  43  * the order in which the iterators on the map's collection views return their
  44  * elements.  Some map implementations, like the <tt>TreeMap</tt> class, make
  45  * specific guarantees as to their order; others, like the <tt>HashMap</tt>
  46  * class, do not.
  47  *
  48  * <p>Note: great care must be exercised if mutable objects are used as map
  49  * keys.  The behavior of a map is not specified if the value of an object is
  50  * changed in a manner that affects <tt>equals</tt> comparisons while the
  51  * object is a key in the map.  A special case of this prohibition is that it
  52  * is not permissible for a map to contain itself as a key.  While it is
  53  * permissible for a map to contain itself as a value, extreme caution is
  54  * advised: the <tt>equals</tt> and <tt>hashCode</tt> methods are no longer
  55  * well defined on such a map.
  56  *
  57  * <p>All general-purpose map implementation classes should provide two
  58  * "standard" constructors: a void (no arguments) constructor which creates an
  59  * empty map, and a constructor with a single argument of type <tt>Map</tt>,
  60  * which creates a new map with the same key-value mappings as its argument.
  61  * In effect, the latter constructor allows the user to copy any map,
  62  * producing an equivalent map of the desired class.  There is no way to
  63  * enforce this recommendation (as interfaces cannot contain constructors) but
  64  * all of the general-purpose map implementations in the JDK comply.
  65  *
  66  * <p>The "destructive" methods contained in this interface, that is, the
  67  * methods that modify the map on which they operate, are specified to throw
  68  * <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt> if this map does not support the
  69  * operation.  If this is the case, these methods may, but are not required
  70  * to, throw an <tt>UnsupportedOperationException</tt> if the invocation would
  71  * have no effect on the map.  For example, invoking the {@link #putAll(Map)}
  72  * method on an unmodifiable map may, but is not required to, throw the
  73  * exception if the map whose mappings are to be "superimposed" is empty.
  74  *
  75  * <p>Some map implementations have restrictions on the keys and values they
  76  * may contain.  For example, some implementations prohibit null keys and
  77  * values, and some have restrictions on the types of their keys.  Attempting
  78  * to insert an ineligible key or value throws an unchecked exception,
  79  * typically <tt>NullPointerException</tt> or <tt>ClassCastException</tt>.
  80  * Attempting to query the presence of an ineligible key or value may throw an
  81  * exception, or it may simply return false; some implementations will exhibit
  82  * the former behavior and some will exhibit the latter.  More generally,
  83  * attempting an operation on an ineligible key or value whose completion
  84  * would not result in the insertion of an ineligible element into the map may
  85  * throw an exception or it may succeed, at the option of the implementation.
  86  * Such exceptions are marked as "optional" in the specification for this
  87  * interface.
  88  *
  89  * <p>Many methods in Collections Framework interfaces are defined
  90  * in terms of the {@link Object#equals(Object) equals} method.  For
  91  * example, the specification for the {@link #containsKey(Object)
  92  * containsKey(Object key)} method says: "returns <tt>true</tt> if and
  93  * only if this map contains a mapping for a key <tt>k</tt> such that
  94  * <tt>(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))</tt>." This specification should
  95  * <i>not</i> be construed to imply that invoking <tt>Map.containsKey</tt>
  96  * with a non-null argument <tt>key</tt> will cause <tt>key.equals(k)</tt> to
  97  * be invoked for any key <tt>k</tt>.  Implementations are free to
  98  * implement optimizations whereby the <tt>equals</tt> invocation is avoided,
  99  * for example, by first comparing the hash codes of the two keys.  (The
 100  * {@link Object#hashCode()} specification guarantees that two objects with
 101  * unequal hash codes cannot be equal.)  More generally, implementations of
 102  * the various Collections Framework interfaces are free to take advantage of
 103  * the specified behavior of underlying {@link Object} methods wherever the
 104  * implementor deems it appropriate.
 105  *
 106  * <p>Some map operations which perform recursive traversal of the map may fail
 107  * with an exception for self-referential instances where the map directly or
 108  * indirectly contains itself. This includes the {@code clone()},
 109  * {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()} and {@code toString()} methods.
 110  * Implementations may optionally handle the self-referential scenario, however
 111  * most current implementations do not do so.
