# Class TransformedMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.collections4.map.AbstractIterableMap<K,V>
org.apache.commons.collections4.map.AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>
org.apache.commons.collections4.map.TransformedMap<K,V>

Type Parameters:
  `K` - the type of the keys in this map
  `V` - the type of the values in this map

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Map<K,V>`, `Get<K,V>`, `IterableGet<K,V>`, `IterableMap<K,V>`, `Put<K,V>`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `TransformedSortedMap`

public class TransformedMap<K,V> extends AbstractMapDecorator<K,V> implements Serializable
Decorates another `Map` to transform objects that are added.

The Map put methods and Map.Entry setValue method are affected by this class. Thus objects must be removed or searched for using their transformed form. For example, if the transformation converts Strings to Integers, you must use the Integer form to remove objects.

Note that TransformedMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using `Collections.synchronizedMap(Map)`. This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.

This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.

Since:
  3.0

- ## Field Details

  - ### keyTransformer

    protected final Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer
    The transformer to use for the key

  - ### valueTransformer

    protected final Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer
    The transformer to use for the value

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### TransformedMap

    protected TransformedMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
    Constructor that wraps (not copies).

    If there are any elements already in the collection being decorated, they are NOT transformed.

    Parameters:
      `map` - the map to decorate, must not be null
      `keyTransformer` - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no conversion
      `valueTransformer` - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no conversion
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if map is null

- ## Method Details

  - ### transformedMap

    public static <K, V> TransformedMap<K,V> transformedMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
    Factory method to create a transforming map that will transform existing contents of the specified map.

    If there are any elements already in the map being decorated, they will be transformed by this method. Contrast this with `transformingMap(Map, Transformer, Transformer)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `K` - the key type
      `V` - the value type
    Parameters:
      `map` - the map to decorate, must not be null
      `keyTransformer` - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no transformation
      `valueTransformer` - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no transformation
    Returns:
      a new transformed map
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if map is null
    Since:
      4.0

  - ### transformingMap

    public static <K, V> TransformedMap<K,V> transformingMap(Map<K,V> map, Transformer<? super K,? extends K> keyTransformer, Transformer<? super V,? extends V> valueTransformer)
    Factory method to create a transforming map.

    If there are any elements already in the map being decorated, they are NOT transformed. Contrast this with `transformedMap(Map, Transformer, Transformer)`.

    Type Parameters:
      `K` - the key type
      `V` - the value type
    Parameters:
      `map` - the map to decorate, must not be null
      `keyTransformer` - the transformer to use for key conversion, null means no transformation
      `valueTransformer` - the transformer to use for value conversion, null means no transformation
    Returns:
      a new transformed map
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if map is null
    Since:
      4.0

  - ### checkSetValue

    Override to transform the value when using `setValue`.
    Parameters:
      `value` - the value to transform
    Returns:
      the transformed value
    Since:
      3.1

  - ### isSetValueChecking

  - ### put

    public V put(K key, V value)
    Description copied from interface: `Put`
    Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map.

    Note that the return type is Object, rather than V as in the Map interface. See the class Javadoc for further info.

    Specified by:
      `put` in interface `Map<K,V>`
    Specified by:
      `put` in interface `Put<K,V>`

    Parameters:
      `key` - key with which the specified value is to be associated
      `value` - value to be associated with the specified key
    Returns:
      the previous value associated with `key`, or `null` if there was no mapping for `key`. (A `null` return can also indicate that the map previously associated `null` with `key`, if the implementation supports `null` values.)

      - `Map.put(Object, Object)`

  - ### putAll

    public void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> mapToCopy)
