- Type Parameters:
V - the type of value stored
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable, Map<String,V>
public class CaseInsensitiveMap<V>
extends AbstractMap<String,V>
implements Serializable
An mapped collection where the keys are always strings and access to values is case-insensitive. The case of keys in
the map is maintained, but on any access to a key (directly or indirectly), all key comparisons are
performed in a case-insensitive manner. The map implementation is intended to support a reasonably finite number
(dozens or hundreds, not thousands or millions of key/value pairs. Unlike HashMap, it is based on a sorted list of
entries rather than hash bucket. It is also geared towards a largely static map, one that is created and then used
without modification.
