Map.entrySet() 这个方法返回的是一个Set<Map.Entry<K,V>>，
Map.Entry 是Map中的一个接口，他的用途是表示一个映射项（里面有Key和Value），
而Set<Map.Entry<K,V>>表示一个映射项的Set。
Map.Entry里有相应的getKey和getValue方法，即JavaBean，让我们能够从一个项中取出Key和Value。
下面是遍历Map的四种方法:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("1", "value1");
map.put("2", "value2");
map.put("3", "value3");
//第一种：普遍使用，二次取值
System.out.println("通过Map.keySet遍历key和value：");
for (String key : map.keySet()) {
System.out.println("key= "+ key + " and value= " + map.get(key));
}
//第二种
System.out.println("通过Map.entrySet使用iterator遍历key和value：");
Iterator<Map.Entry<String, String>> it = map.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<String, String> entry = it.next();
System.out.println("key= " + entry.getKey() + " and value= " + entry.getValue());
}
//第三种：推荐，尤其是容量大时
System.out.println("通过Map.entrySet遍历key和value");
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("key= " + entry.getKey() + " and value= " + entry.getValue());
}
//第四种
System.out.println("通过Map.values()遍历所有的value，但不能遍历key");
for (String v : map.values()) {
System.out.println("value= " + v);
}
}
下面是HashMap的源代码：
首先HashMap的底层实现用的时候一个Entry数组
java] view plain copy
<pre name="code" class="java"> /**
* The table, resized as necessary. Length MUST Always be a power of two.
*/
transient Entry[] table; //声明了一个数组
........
public HashMap() {
this.loadFactor = DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR;
threshold = (int)(DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY * DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR);
table = new Entry[DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY];//初始化数组的大小为DEFAULT_INITIAL_CAPACITY(这里是16)
init();
}</pre><br> 再来看一下Entry是在什么地方定义的，继续上源码,我们在HashMap的源码的674行发现了它的定义，原来他是HashMap的一个内部类，并且实现了Map.Entry接口。
static class Entry<K,V> implements Map.Entry<K,V> {
final K key;
V value;
Entry<K,V> next;
final int hash;
/**
* Creates new entry.
*/
Entry(int h, K k, V v, Entry<K,V> n) {
value = v;
next = n;
key = k;
hash = h;
}
public final K getKey() {
return key;
}
public final V getValue() {
return value;
}
public final V setValue(V newValue) {
V oldValue = value;
value = newValue;
return oldValue;
}
public final boolean equals(Object o) {
if (!(o instanceof Map.Entry))
return false;
Map.Entry e = (Map.Entry)o;
Object k1 = getKey();
Object k2 = e.getKey();
if (k1 == k2 || (k1 != null && k1.equals(k2))) {
Object v1 = getValue();
Object v2 = e.getValue();
if (v1 == v2 || (v1 != null && v1.equals(v2)))
return true;
}
return false;
}
public final int hashCode() {
return (key==null ? 0 : key.hashCode()) ^
(value==null ? 0 : value.hashCode());
}
public final String toString() {
return getKey() + "=" + getValue();
}
/**
* This method is invoked whenever the value in an entry is
* overwritten by an invocation of put(k,v) for a key k that's already
* in the HashMap.
*/
void recordAccess(HashMap<K,V> m) {
}
/**
* This method is invoked whenever the entry is
* removed from the table.
*/
void recordRemoval(HashMap<K,V> m) {
}
} 既然这样那我们再看一下Map.Entry这个接口是怎么定义的，原来他是Map的一个内部接口并且定义了一些方法。
interface Entry<K,V> {
/**
* Returns the key corresponding to this entry.
*
* @return the key corresponding to this entry
* @throws IllegalStateException implementations may, but are not
* required to, throw this exception if the entry has been
* removed from the backing map.
*/
K getKey();
/**
* Returns the value corresponding to this entry. If the mapping
* has been removed from the backing map (by the iterator's
* <tt>remove</tt> operation), the results of this call are undefined.
*
* @return the value corresponding to this entry
* @throws IllegalStateException implementations may, but are not
* required to, throw this exception if the entry has been
* removed from the backing map.
*/
V getValue();
/**
* Replaces the value corresponding to this entry with the specified
* value (optional operation). (Writes through to the map.) The
* behavior of this call is undefined if the mapping has already been
* removed from the map (by the iterator's <tt>remove</tt> operation).
*
* @param value new value to be stored in this entry
* @return old value corresponding to the entry

* null values, and the specified value is null
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if some property of this value
* prevents it from being stored in the backing map
* @throws IllegalStateException implementations may, but are not
* required to, throw this exception if the entry has been
* removed from the backing map.
*/
V setValue(V value);
/**
* Compares the specified object with this entry for equality.
* Returns <tt>true</tt> if the given object is also a map entry and
* the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two

* different implementations of the <tt>Map.Entry</tt> interface.
*
* @param o object to be compared for equality with this map entry
* @return <tt>true</tt> if the specified object is equal to this map
* entry
*/
boolean equals(Object o);
/**
* Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code
* of a map entry <tt>e</tt> is defined to be: <pre>
* (e.getKey()==null ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^

*
* @return the hash code value for this map entry

*/
int hashCode();
} 看到这里的时候大伙儿估计都明白得差不多了为什么HashMap为什么要选择Entry数组来存放key-value对了吧，因为Entry实现的Map.Entry接口里面定义了getKey(),getValue()，setKey(),setValue()等方法相当于一个javaBean，对键值对进行了一个封装便于后面的操作，从这里我们其实也可以联想到不光是HashMap，譬如LinkedHashMap,TreeMap 等继承自map的容器存储key-value对都应该使用的是Entry只不过组织Entry的形式不一样，HashMap用的是数组加链表的形式，LinkedHashMap用的是链表的形式，TreeMap应该使用的二叉树的形式。
LinkedHashMap:
/**
* The head of the doubly linked list.
*/
/定义了链头
private transient Entry<K,V> header; 初始化链表的方法：
void init() {
header = new Entry<K,V>(-1, null, null, null);
header.before = header.after = header;
} TreeMap:
[java] view plain copy
//定义根节点
private transient Entry<K,V> root = null; 再看他的put方法，二叉排序树的插入操作。
public V put(K key, V value) {
Entry<K,V> t = root;
if (t == null) {
// TBD:
// 5045147: (coll) Adding null to an empty TreeSet should
// throw NullPointerException
//
// compare(key, key); // type check
root = new Entry<K,V>(key, value, null);
size = 1;
modCount++;
return null;
}
int cmp;
Entry<K,V> parent;
// split comparator and comparable paths
Comparator<? super K> cpr = comparator;
if (cpr != null) {
do {
parent = t;
cmp = cpr.compare(key, t.key);
if (cmp < 0)
t = t.left;
else if (cmp > 0)
t = t.right;
else
return t.setValue(value);
} while (t != null);
}
else {
if (key == null)
throw new NullPointerException();
Comparable<? super K> k = (Comparable<? super K>) key;
do {
parent = t;
cmp = k.compareTo(t.key);
if (cmp < 0)
t = t.left;
else if (cmp > 0)
t = t.right;
else
return t.setValue(value);
} while (t != null);
}
Entry<K,V> e = new Entry<K,V>(key, value, parent);
if (cmp < 0)
parent.left = e;
else
parent.right = e;
fixAfterInsertion(e);
size++;
modCount++;
return null;
}
