Commons Collections - BidiMap Interface
Commons Collections - BidiMap Interface
New Interfaces are added to supports bidirectional Map. Using bidirectional map, a key can be lookup using value and value can be lookup using key easily.
Interface Declaration
Following is the declaration for org.apache.commons.collections4.BidiMap<K,V> interface −
pubpc interface BidiMap<K,V> extends IterableMap<K,V>
Methods
The methods for the BidiMap Interface are as follows −
| Sr.No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | K getKey(Object value) Gets the key that is currently mapped to the specified value. |
| 2 | BidiMap<V,K> inverseBidiMap() Gets a view of this map where the keys and values are reversed. |
| 3 | V put(K key, V value) Puts the key-value pair into the map, replacing any previous pair. |
| 4 | K removeValue(Object value) Removes the key-value pair that is currently mapped to the specified value (optional operation). |
| 5 | Set<V> values() Returns a Set view of the values contained in this map. |
Methods Inherited
This interface inherits methods from the following interfaces −
org.apache.commons.collections4.Ge.
org.apache.commons.collections4.IterableGe.
org.apache.commons.collections4.Pu.
java.util.Ma.
Example of BidiMap Interface
An example of BidiMapTester.java is as follows −
import org.apache.commons.collections4.BidiMap;
import org.apache.commons.collections4.bidimap.TreeBidiMap;
pubpc class BidiMapTester {
pubpc static void main(String[] args) {
BidiMap>String, String< bidi = new TreeBidiMap<>();
bidi.put("One", "1");
bidi.put("Two", "2");
bidi.put("Three", "3");
System.out.println(bidi.get("One"));
System.out.println(bidi.getKey("1"));
System.out.println("Original Map: " + bidi);
bidi.removeValue("1");
System.out.println("Modified Map: " + bidi);
BidiMap<String, String> inversedMap = bidi.inverseBidiMap();
System.out.println("Inversed Map: " + inversedMap);
}
}
Output
When you run the code, you will see the following output −
1
One
Original Map: {One=1, Three=3, Two=2}
Modified Map: {Three=3, Two=2}
Inversed Map: {2=Two, 3=Three}
