Package org.eclipse.collections.api.map.sorted

package org.eclipse.collections.api.map.sorted

This package contains mutable and immutable sorted map interfaces.

A sorted map is a map which contains elements in sorted order. It allows for faster retrievals.

This package contains 3 interfaces:

• MutableSortedMap - an implementation of a JCF Map which provides methods matching the Smalltalk Collection protocol.
• ImmutableSortedMap - the non-mutable equivalent of MutableSortedMap.
• SortedMapIterable - a map which contains elements in sorted order.

Interfaces

Class	Description
ImmutableSortedMap<K,V>	An ImmutableSortedMap is different from a JCF SortedMap because it has no mutating methods.
MutableSortedMap<K,V>	A MutableSortedMap is similar to a JCF Map but adds additional useful internal iterator methods.
SortedMapIterable<K,V>	An iterable Map whose elements are sorted.
