public @interface BasicMap
```
A BasicMap is used to map an org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.DirectMapMapping, which stores a collection of key-value pairs of simple types (String, Number, Date, etc.). It is used in conjunction with a CollectionTable which stores the key, the value and a foreign key to the source object.

A converter may be used if the desired object type and the data type do not match. This applied to both the key and value of the map., Convert, Converter, ObjectTypeConverter, A BasicMap can be specified within an Entity, MappedSuperclass and Embeddable class., ElementCollection
