| The Java Collections Framework was a major addition in JDK 1.2. It added many powerful data structures that |
| accelerate development of most significant Java applications. Since that time it has become the recognised |
| standard for collection handling in Java. |
| |
| Commons-Collections seek to build upon the JDK classes by providing new interfaces, implementations and |
| utilities. There are many features, including: |
| |
| * Bag interface for collections that have a number of copies of each object |
| * Buffer interface for collections that have a well defined removal order, like FIFOs |
| * BidiMap interface for maps that can be looked up from value to key as well and key to value |
| * MapIterator interface to provide simple and quick iteration over maps |
| * Type checking decorators to ensure that only instances of a certain type can be added |
| * Transforming decorators that alter each object as it is added to the collection |
| * Composite collections that make multiple collections look like one |
| * Ordered maps and sets that retain the order elements are added in, including an LRU based map |
| * Identity map that compares objects based on their identity (==) instead of the equals method |
| * Reference map that allows keys and/or values to be garbage collected under close control |
| * Many comparator implementations |
| * Many iterator implementations |
| * Adapter classes from array and enumerations to collections |
| * Utilities to test or create typical set-theory properties of collections such as union, intersection, and closure |
