Iterating over the items in the Java’s Map is very useful. The java.util.Map is a interface where you could have concrete implementations such as java.util.HashMap or java.util.TreeMap.

Iterate elements over java.util.HashMap

The java.util.HashMap is unordered. Thus if you iterate the elements in the hashmap, you’ll get unordered elements that are not exactly the same as they are inserted into the hashmap.

For example, let’s create a HashMap and put five key-value pairs into the hashmap.

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> data = new HashMap<>();
        data.put("key1", 1);
        data.put("key2", 2);
        data.put("key3", 3);
        data.put("key4", 4);
        data.put("key5", 5);
        for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry: data.entrySet()) {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " -- " + entry.getValue());
        }
    }
}
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> data = new HashMap<>();
        data.put("key1", 1);
        data.put("key2", 2);
        data.put("key3", 3);
        data.put("key4", 4);
        data.put("key5", 5);
        for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry: data.entrySet()) {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " -- " + entry.getValue());
        }
    }
}

Iterating the elements in the hashmap can be achieved by looping over the hashmap.entrySet() – then key and value can be obtained via entry.getKey() and entry.getValue() methods.

One example output would be:

key1 -- 1
key2 -- 2
key5 -- 5
key3 -- 3
key4 -- 4

If you are looking for synchronised hashmap, you could also try java.util.Hashtable. Iterating over Hashtable can be done in the same syntax.

How to Iterate the elements in the Java’s TreeMap

Java’s TreeMap internally implements a Red-Black Tree. Therefore, if you iterate the TreeMap, you’ll get a sorted sequence based on the keys.

import java.util.TreeMap;
import java.util.Map;
 
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> data = new TreeMap<>();
        data.put("key4", 4);
        data.put("key2", 2);
        data.put("key5", 5);
        data.put("key3", 3);
        data.put("key1", 1);
        for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry: data.entrySet()) {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " -- " + entry.getValue());
        }
    }
}
import java.util.TreeMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> data = new TreeMap<>();
        data.put("key4", 4);
        data.put("key2", 2);
        data.put("key5", 5);
        data.put("key3", 3);
        data.put("key1", 1);
        for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry: data.entrySet()) {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " -- " + entry.getValue());
        }
    }
}

The output will be sorted:

key1 -- 1
key2 -- 2
key3 -- 3
key4 -- 4
key5 -- 5

As listed above, the Map can be iterated via the same techniques as long as the hashmap implements the java.util.Map interface.

The entrySet returns the Set that is type of Entry:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

    /**
     * Returns a {@link Set} view of the mappings contained in this map.
     * The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are
     * reflected in the set, and vice-versa.  If the map is modified
     * while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through
     * the iterator's own remove operation, or through the
     * setValue operation on a map entry returned by the
     * iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined.  The set
     * supports element removal, which removes the corresponding
     * mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove,
     * Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll and
     * clear operations.  It does not support the
     * add or addAll operations.
     *
     * @return a set view of the mappings contained in this map
     */
    Set<Map.Entry<K, V>> entrySet();
    /**
     * Returns a {@link Set} view of the mappings contained in this map.

     *
     * @return a set view of the mappings contained in this map
     */
    Set<Map.Entry<K, V>> entrySet();

And the Map.Entry is a interface that provides: getKey(), getValue() and etc methods.
