它们都提供一个key->值映射和一种遍历键的方法。最重要的区别 这些类是时间保证和键的顺序。

HashMap offers 0(1) lookup and insertion. If you iterate through the keys, though, the ordering of the keys is essentially arbitrary. It is implemented by an array of linked lists. TreeMap offers O(log N) lookup and insertion. Keys are ordered, so if you need to iterate through the keys in sorted order, you can. This means that keys must implement the Comparable interface.TreeMap is implemented by a Red-Black Tree. LinkedHashMap offers 0(1) lookup and insertion. Keys are ordered by their insertion order. It is implemented by doubly-linked buckets.

假设你将一个空的TreeMap, HashMap和LinkedHashMap传递给下面的函数:

void insertAndPrint(AbstractMap<Integer, String> map) {
  int[] array= {1, -1, 0};
  for (int x : array) {
    map.put(x, Integer.toString(x));
  }
  for (int k: map.keySet()) {
   System.out.print(k + ", ");
  }
}

它们的输出如下所示。

对于HashMap，在我自己的测试中，输出是{0,1，-1}，但它可以是任何顺序。没有任何保证 排序。 Treemap，输出为{- 1,0,1} LinkedList，输出为{1，-1,0}

三者中最重要的是如何保存条目的顺序。

HashMap -不保存条目的顺序。 如。

public static void main(String[] args){
        HashMap<String,Integer> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
        hashMap.put("First",1);// First ---> 1 is put first in the map
        hashMap.put("Second",2);//Second ---> 2 is put second in the map
        hashMap.put("Third",3); // Third--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : hashMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.getValue());
        }
    }

LinkedHashMap:它保存条目的顺序。例如:

public static void main(String[] args){
        LinkedHashMap<String,Integer> linkedHashMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        linkedHashMap.put("First",1);// First ---> 1 is put first in the map
        linkedHashMap.put("Second",2);//Second ---> 2 is put second in the map
        linkedHashMap.put("Third",3); // Third--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : linkedHashMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.getValue());
        }
    }

TreeMap:按键的升序保存条目。例如:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        TreeMap<String,Integer> treeMap = new TreeMap<>();
        treeMap.put("A",1);// A---> 1 is put first in the map
        treeMap.put("C",2);//C---> 2 is put second in the map
        treeMap.put("B",3); //B--->3 is put third in the map
        for(Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : treeMap.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey()+"--->"+entry.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。

有关详细信息，请参阅TreeMap, HashMap, LinkedHashMap的javadoc。

这三个都表示从唯一键到值的映射，因此实现了Map接口。

HashMap is a map based on hashing of the keys. It supports O(1) get/put operations. Keys must have consistent implementations of hashCode() and equals() for this to work. LinkedHashMap is very similar to HashMap, but it adds awareness to the order at which items are added (or accessed), so the iteration order is the same as insertion order (or access order, depending on construction parameters). TreeMap is a tree based mapping. Its put/get operations take O(log n) time. It requires items to have some comparison mechanism, either with Comparable or Comparator. The iteration order is determined by this mechanism.

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。
