mapIterator

public MapIterator mapIterator()

Description copied from interface: IterableMap

Obtains a MapIterator over the map.

A map iterator is an efficient way of iterating over maps. There is no need to access the entry set or cast to Map Entry objects.

 IterableMap map = new HashedMap();
 MapIterator it = map.mapIterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
   Object key = it.next();
   Object value = it.getValue();
   it.setValue("newValue");
 }
 

Specified by:

mapIterator in interface IterableMap

Returns:

a map iterator

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Specified by:

entrySet in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

entrySet in class AbstractMapDecorator

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()

Specified by:

keySet in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

keySet in class AbstractMapDecorator

values

public java.util.Collection values()

Specified by:

values in interface java.util.Map

Overrides:

values in class AbstractMapDecorator
