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());
    }

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。

虽然这里有很多很好的答案，但我想给出我自己的表，描述与Java 11绑定的各种Map实现。

我们可以在图表中看到这些差异:

HashMap is the general-purpose Map commonly used when you have no special needs. LinkedHashMap extends HashMap, adding this behavior: Maintains an order, the order in which the entries were originally added. Altering the value for key-value entry does not alter its place in the order. TreeMap too maintains an order, but uses either (a) the “natural” order, meaning the value of the compareTo method on the key objects defined on the Comparable interface, or (b) invokes a Comparator implementation you provide. TreeMap implements both the SortedMap interface, and its successor, the NavigableMap interface. NULLs: TreeMap does not allow a NULL as the key, while HashMap & LinkedHashMap do. All three allow NULL as the value. HashTable is legacy, from Java 1. Supplanted by the ConcurrentHashMap class. Quoting the Javadoc: ConcurrentHashMap obeys the same functional specification as Hashtable, and includes versions of methods corresponding to each method of Hashtable.

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。

HashMap: 不维持秩序 比LinkedHashMap快 用于存储对象堆 LinkedHashMap: LinkedHashMap插入顺序将被维持 比HashMap慢，比TreeMap快 如果你想保持一个插入顺序，使用这个。 TreeMap: TreeMap是一种基于树的映射 TreeMap将遵循键的自然顺序 比HashMap和LinkedHashMap慢 在需要维护自然(默认)排序时使用TreeMap

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.
