Class CaseInsensitiveMap<K,​V>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Map<K,​V>
    public class CaseInsensitiveMap<K,​V>
extends Object
implements Map<K,​V>
    Useful Map that does not care about the case-sensitivity of keys when the key value is a String. Other key types can be used. String keys will be treated case insensitively, yet key case will be retained. Non-string keys will work as they normally would.

    The internal CaseInsensitiveString is never exposed externally from this class. When requesting the keys or entries of this map, or calling containsKey() or get() for example, use a String as you normally would. The returned Set of keys for the keySet() and entrySet() APIs return the original Strings, not the internally wrapped CaseInsensitiveString. As an added benefit, .keySet() returns a case-insenstive Set, however, again, the contents of the entries are actual Strings. Similarly, .entrySet() returns a case-insensitive entry set, such that .getKey() on the entry is case insensitive when compared, but the returned key is a String.

      • CaseInsensitiveMap

        public CaseInsensitiveMap()

      • CaseInsensitiveMap

        public CaseInsensitiveMap​(int initialCapacity)

      • CaseInsensitiveMap

        public CaseInsensitiveMap​(Map<K,​V> m,
                          Map<K,​V> backingMap)
        Wrap the passed in Map with a CaseInsensitiveMap, allowing other Map types like TreeMap, ConcurrentHashMap, etc. to be case insensitive. The caller supplies the actual Map instance that will back the CaseInsensitiveMap.;
        Parameters:
        m - Map to wrap.

      • CaseInsensitiveMap

        public CaseInsensitiveMap​(Map<K,​V> m)
        Wrap the passed in Map with a CaseInsensitiveMap, allowing other Map types like TreeMap, ConcurrentHashMap, etc. to be case insensitive.
        Parameters:
        m - Map to wrap.

        Specified by:
        putAll in interface Map<K,​V>

      • remove

        public V remove​(Object key)
        Specified by:
        remove in interface Map<K,​V>

      • size

        public int size()
        Specified by:
        size in interface Map<K,​V>

      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Specified by:
        isEmpty in interface Map<K,​V>

      • clear

        public void clear()
        Specified by:
        clear in interface Map<K,​V>

      • minus

        public Map minus​(Object removeMe)

      • keySet

        public Set<K> keySet()
        Returns a Set view of the keys contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own remove operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
        Specified by:
        keySet in interface Map<K,​V>
