Java : AbstractMap with Examples

AbstractMap (Java SE 23 & JDK 23) in Java with Examples.
You will find code samples for most of the AbstractMap<K,V> methods.


Summary

This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Map interface, to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.

Class diagram

class MyMap extends AbstractMap<String, Integer> {

    private final Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entries;

    MyMap(String key1, int value1, String key2, int value2, String key3, int value3) {
        if (Objects.equals(key1, key2) || Objects.equals(key1, key3) || Objects.equals(key2, key3)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("duplicate element");
        }

        this.entries = Set.of(
                Map.entry(key1, value1),
                Map.entry(key2, value2),

    private final Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entries;

    MyMap(String key1, int value1, String key2, int value2, String key3, int value3) {
        if (Objects.equals(key1, key2) || Objects.equals(key1, key3) || Objects.equals(key2, key3)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("duplicate element");
        }
