public abstract class Dictionary
extends Object

The Dictionary class is the abstract parent of any class, such as Hashtable, which maps keys to values. Any non-null object can be used as a key and as a value.

As a rule, the equals method should be used by implementations of this class to decide if two keys are the same.
