Create an Ordered Map in Java

Description

The following code shows how to create an Ordered Map.

Example


//ww  w.j ava  2s  .  co  m
import java.util.AbstractMap;
import java.util.AbstractSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;

/**
 * This is a simple Map implementation backed by a List of Map.Entry objects. 
 * It has the property that iterators return entries in the order in whick
 * they were inserted.
 * 
 * Operations involving searching, including get() and put(), have cost linear 
 * to the size of the map. In other words, avoid this implementation if your 
 * Map might get large.
 * 
 * If we could assume Java 1.4+, we'd just use java.util.LinkedHashMap 
 * instead of this class.  But we can't.
