Type Parameters:

K - the type of keys maintained by this map

V - the type of mapped values

All Superinterfaces:

Map<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHashMap, StrictHashMap

public interface IterableMap<K,V>
extends Map<K,V>

Defines a map that can be iterated directly without needing to create an entry set.

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.
