Interface ObservableMap<K,V>

Type Parameters:: K - the map key element type; V - the map value element type

All Superinterfaces:: Map<K,V>, Observable

All Known Subinterfaces:: ObservableMapValue<K,V>, Platform.Preferences, WritableMapValue<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:: MapBinding, MapExpression, MapProperty, MapPropertyBase, ReadOnlyMapProperty, ReadOnlyMapPropertyBase, ReadOnlyMapWrapper, SimpleMapProperty

public interface ObservableMap<K,V> extends Map<K,V>, Observable

A map that allows observers to track changes when they occur. Implementations can be created using methods in FXCollections such as observableHashMap, or with a SimpleMapProperty.

Since:
