java jdk api hashmap_Java的JDK下Hashtable与HashMap的区别

时间角度：Hashtable* @since JDK1.0;HashMap* @since   1.2

基类与接口角度：

public class Hashtable

extends Dictionary

implements Map, Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

public class HashMap

extends AbstractMap

implements Map, Cloneable, Serializable

实现了一样的接口，继承自不同的基类(字典)Dictionary与(抽象映射)AbstractMap。

线程安全角度：

HashMap.java ：

*

Note that this implementation is not synchronized.

* If multiple threads access a hash map concurrently, and at least one of

* the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be

* synchronized externally. (A structural modification is any operation

* that adds or deletes one or more mappings; merely changing the value

* associated with a key that an instance already contains is not a

* structural modification.) This is typically accomplished by

* synchronizing on some object that naturally encapsulates the map.

Hashtable.java ：

* Java Collections Framework. Unlike the new collection

* implementations, {@code Hashtable} is synchronized. If a

* thread-safe implementation is not needed, it is recommended to use

* {@link HashMap} in place of {@code Hashtable}. If a thread-safe

* highly-concurrent implementation is desired, then it is recommended

* to use {@link java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap} in place of

* {@code Hashtable}.
