Map
A collection that holds pairs of objects (keys and values) and supports efficiently retrieving the value corresponding to each key. Map keys are unique; the map holds only one value for each key. Methods in this interface support only read-only access to the map; read-write access is supported through the MutableMap interface.
Since Kotlin
1.0Parameters
the type of map keys. The map is invariant in its key type, as it can accept key as a parameter (of containsKey for example) and return it in keys set.
the type of map values. The map is covariant in its value type.

Properties
Returns a read-only Collection of all values in this map. Note that this collection may contain duplicate values.
Functions
Returns true
if the map contains the specified key.
Returns true
if the map maps one or more keys to the specified value.
Populates the given destination map with entries having the keys obtained by applying the transform function to each entry in this Map and the values of this map.

Creates a new read-only map by replacing or adding entries to this map from a given array of key-value pairs.
Creates a new read-only map by replacing or adding an entry to this map from a given key-value pair.
Creates a new read-only map by replacing or adding entries to this map from a given collection of key-value pairs.
Creates a new read-only map by replacing or adding entries to this map from another map.
Creates a new read-only map by replacing or adding entries to this map from a given sequence of key-value pairs.
Converts this Map to a Properties object.
Converts this Map to a SortedMap. The resulting SortedMap determines the equality and order of keys according to their natural sorting order.
