这是我自己使用地图的经验，关于我何时使用每种地图:

HashMap - Most useful when looking for a best-performance (fast) implementation. TreeMap (SortedMap interface) - Most useful when I'm concerned with being able to sort or iterate over the keys in a particular order that I define. LinkedHashMap - Combines advantages of guaranteed ordering from TreeMap without the increased cost of maintaining the TreeMap. (It is almost as fast as the HashMap). In particular, the LinkedHashMap also provides a great starting point for creating a Cache object by overriding the removeEldestEntry() method. This lets you create a Cache object that can expire data using some criteria that you define.

哈希映射不保留插入顺序。 的例子。Hashmap 如果您正在插入键作为

1  3
5  9
4   6
7   15
3   10

它可以存储为

4  6
5  9
3  10
1  3
7  15

链接Hashmap保留插入顺序。

的例子。 如果您正在插入键

1  3
5  9
4   6
7   15
3   10

它将存储为

1  3
5  9
4   6
7   15
3   10

和我们插入的一样。

树映射以键的递增顺序存储山谷。 的例子。 如果您正在插入键

1  3
5  9
4   6
7   15
3   10

它将存储为

1  3
3  10
4   6
5   9
7   15

请看下图(大图)中每个类在类层次结构中的位置。TreeMap实现了SortedMap和NavigableMap，而HashMap没有。

HashTable已经过时，应该使用相应的ConcurrentHashMap类。

HashMap 可以包含一个空键。

HashMap没有秩序。

TreeMap

TreeMap不能包含任何空键。

TreeMap保持升序。

LinkedHashMap

LinkedHashMap可用于维护插入顺序，即键被插入到Map中，也可用于维护访问顺序，即键被访问。

例子::

1) HashMap map = new HashMap();

    map.put(null, "Kamran");
    map.put(2, "Ali");
    map.put(5, "From");
    map.put(4, "Dir");`enter code here`
    map.put(3, "Lower");
    for (Map.Entry m : map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(m.getKey() + "  " + m.getValue());
    } 

2) TreeMap map = new TreeMap();

    map.put(1, "Kamran");
    map.put(2, "Ali");
    map.put(5, "From");
    map.put(4, "Dir");
    map.put(3, "Lower");
    for (Map.Entry m : map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(m.getKey() + "  " + m.getValue());
    }

3) LinkedHashMap map = new LinkedHashMap();

    map.put(1, "Kamran");
    map.put(2, "Ali");
    map.put(5, "From");
    map.put(4, "Dir");
    map.put(3, "Lower");
    for (Map.Entry m : map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println(m.getKey() + "  " + m.getValue());
    }

这些是同一接口的不同实现。每种实现都有一些优点和缺点(快速插入，缓慢搜索)，反之亦然。
