Various Ways to Iterate Over a Java HashMap with Code Examples

The article introduces seven categories of HashMap traversal in Java, summarizing the typical approaches and their variations.

1. Iterator (EntrySet) – considered the most efficient method.

@Test
//1，使用迭代器 EntrySet 的方式遍历
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1,"娇娇");
    map.put(2,"娇娇1");
    map.put(3,"娇娇2");
    map.put(4,"娇娇3");
    map.put(5,"娇娇4");
    map.put(5,"娇娇5");
    //遍历
    Iterator
> iterator = map.entrySet().iterator();
    while(iterator.hasNext()){
        Map.Entry
next = iterator.next();
        System.out.println(next.getKey());
        System.out.println(next.getValue());
    }
}

2. Iterator (KeySet) – iterates over keys and retrieves values.

@Test
// 2，使用迭代器的KeySet
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1,"娇娇");
    map.put(2,"娇娇1");
    map.put(3,"娇娇2");
    map.put(4,"娇娇3");
    map.put(5,"娇娇4");
    map.put(5,"娇娇5");
    //遍历
    Iterator
iterator = map.keySet().iterator();
    while(iterator.hasNext()){
        Integer key = iterator.next();
        System.out.print(key);
        System.out.print(map.get(key));
    }
}

3. For‑Each loop with EntrySet.

@Test
//3，使用 For Each EntrySet 的方式进行遍历；
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1,"娇娇");
    map.put(2,"娇娇1");
    map.put(3,"娇娇2");
    map.put(4,"娇娇3");
    map.put(5,"娇娇4");
    map.put(5,"娇娇5");
    //遍历
    for (Map.Entry
entry: map.entrySet()) {
        System.out.println("entry.getKey() = " + entry.getKey());
        System.out.println("entry.getValue() = " + entry.getValue());
    }
}

4. For‑Each loop with KeySet.

@Test
//4，使用 For Each KeySet 的方式进行遍历；
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1,"娇娇");
    map.put(2,"娇娇1");
    map.put(3,"娇娇2");
    map.put(4,"娇娇3");
    map.put(5,"娇娇4");
    map.put(5,"娇娇5");
    //遍历
    for (Integer key: map.keySet()) {
        System.out.println(key);
        System.out.println(map.get(key));
    }
}

5. Lambda expression with forEach.

@Test
//5，使用 Lambda 表达式的方式进行遍历；
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1, "娇娇");
    map.put(2, "娇娇1");
    map.put(3, "娇娇2");
    map.put(4, "娇娇3");
    map.put(5, "娇娇4");
    map.put(5, "娇娇5");
    //遍历
    map.forEach((key,value) -> {
        System.out.print(key);
        System.out.print(value);
    });
}

6. Single‑threaded Streams API.

@Test
//6，使用 Streams API 单线程的方式进行遍历；
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1, "娇娇");
    map.put(2, "娇娇1");
    map.put(3, "娇娇2");
    map.put(4, "娇娇3");
    map.put(5, "娇娇4");
    map.put(5, "娇娇5");
    //遍历
    map.entrySet().stream().forEach((integerStringEntry -> {
        System.out.println(integerStringEntry.getKey());
        System.out.println(integerStringEntry.getValue());
    }));
}

7. Parallel Streams API for multi‑threaded traversal.

@Test
//6，使用 Streams API 单线程的方式进行遍历；
public void demo1(){
    //创建Map 对象
    Map
map = new HashMap<>();
    //添加数据
    map.put(1, "娇娇");
    map.put(2, "娇娇1");
    map.put(3, "娇娇2");
    map.put(4, "娇娇3");
    map.put(5, "娇娇4");
    map.put(5, "娇娇5");
    //遍历
    map.entrySet().parallelStream().forEach((integerStringEntry -> {
        System.out.println(integerStringEntry.getKey());
        System.out.println(integerStringEntry.getValue());
    }));
}
