+/**
+ * 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.
