How to efficiently iterate over each entry in a 'Map'?

If I have an object implementing the Map interface in Java and I wish to iterate over every pair contained within it, what is the most efficient way of going through the map?

Will the ordering of elements depend on the specific map implementation that I have for the interface?


Map<String, String> map = ...
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet())
{
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

To summarize the other answers and combine them with what I know, I found 10 main ways to do this (see below). Also, I wrote some performance tests (see results below). For example, if we want to find the sum of all of the keys and values of a map, we can write:

  • Using iterator and Map.Entry

    long i = 0;
    Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, Integer>> it = map.entrySet().iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> pair = it.next();
        i += pair.getKey() + pair.getValue();
    }
    
  • Using foreach and Map.Entry

    long i = 0;
    for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> pair : map.entrySet()) {
        i += pair.getKey() + pair.getValue();
    }
    
  • Using forEach from Java 8

    final long[] i = {0};
    map.forEach((k, v) -> i[0] += k + v);
    
  • Using keySet and foreach

    long i = 0;
    for (Integer key : map.keySet()) {
        i += key + map.get(key);
    }
    
  • Using keySet and iterator

    long i = 0;
    Iterator<Integer> itr2 = map.keySet().iterator();
    while (itr2.hasNext()) {
        Integer key = itr2.next();
        i += key + map.get(key);
    }
    
  • Using for and Map.Entry

    long i = 0;
    for (Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, Integer>> entries = map.entrySet().iterator(); entries.hasNext(); ) {
        Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry = entries.next();
        i += entry.getKey() + entry.getValue();
    }
    
  • Using the Java 8 Stream API

    final long[] i = {0};
    map.entrySet().stream().forEach(e -> i[0] += e.getKey() + e.getValue());
    
  • Using the Java 8 Stream API parallel

    final long[] i = {0};
    map.entrySet().stream().parallel().forEach(e -> i[0] += e.getKey() + e.getValue());
    
  • Using IterableMap of Apache Collections

    long i = 0;
    MapIterator<Integer, Integer> it = iterableMap.mapIterator();
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        i += it.next() + it.getValue();
    }
    
  • Using MutableMap of Eclipse (CS) collections

    final long[] i = {0};
    mutableMap.forEachKeyValue((key, value) -> {
        i[0] += key + value;
    });

    In Java 8 you can do it clean and fast using the new lambdas features:

     Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<>();
     map.put("SomeKey", "SomeValue");
     map.forEach( (k,v) -> [do something with key and value] );
    
     // such as
     map.forEach( (k,v) -> System.out.println("Key: " + k + ": Value: " + v));
    

    The type of k and v will be inferred by the compiler and there is no need to use Map.Entry anymore.

    Easy-peasy!
