问题
In short, if you want to write a map of e.g. constants in Java, which in e.g. Python and Javascript you would write as a literal,
T<String,String> CONSTANTS =
{
"CONSTANT_NAME_0": CONSTANT_VALUE_0 ,
"CONSTANT_NAME_1": CONSTANT_VALUE_1 ,
"CONSTANT_NAME_2": CONSTANT_VALUE_2 ,
//...
} ;
is there a Class or any preset Object that you can use for writing a data structure like that?
回答1:
Constants? I'd use an enum.
public enum Constants {
NAME_1("Value1"),
NAME_2("Value2"),
NAME_3("Value3");
private String value;
Constants(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
public String value() {
return value;
}
}
Value for e.g. NAME_2 can be obtained as follows:
String name2value = Constants.NAME_2.value();
Only give the enum a bit more sensible name, e.g. Settings, Defaults, etc, whatever those name/value pairs actually represent.

I like to do it this way:
Map map = new HashMap() {{
put("foo", "bar");
put(123, 456);
}};
The double {{ }} are an instance initialization block. They are a bit unusual but they are useful. No need for libraries or helpers.
回答3:
No, Java doesn't have a map literal. The closest you'll come to this is using Google Collections' ImmutableMap:
Map<K,V> CONSTANTS = ImmutableMap.of(
NAME_1, VALUE_1,
NAME_2, VALUE_2
//etc.
);
回答4:
Sorry, I'm a tinkerer :-) Here's a somewhat cleaner way.
public class MapTest {
private static Map<String, String> map;
static {
Map<String, String> tmpMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
tmpMap.put("A", "Apple");
tmpMap.put("B", "Banana");
// etc
map = Collections.unmodifiableMap(tmpMap);
}
public Map<String, String> getMap() {
return map;
}
}
回答5:
You can write yourself a quick helper function:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static <K,V> Map<K,V> ImmutableMap(Object... keyValPair){
Map<K,V> map = new HashMap<K,V>();
if(keyValPair.length % 2 != 0){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Keys and values must be pairs.");
}
for(int i = 0; i < keyValPair.length; i += 2){
map.put((K) keyValPair[i], (V) keyValPair[i+1]);
}
return Collections.unmodifiableMap(map);
}
Note the code above isn't going to stop you from overwriting constants of the same name, using CONST_1 multiple places in your list will result in the final CONST_1's value appearing.
Usage is something like:
Map<String,Double> constants = ImmutableMap(
"CONST_0", 1.0,
"CONST_1", 2.0
);
回答6:
Here's another way, best suited for maps that won't be changing:
public class Whatever {
private static Map<String,String> map = new HashMap<String,String>();
static {
map.put("A", "Apple");
map.put("B", "Banana");
// etc
}
}
回答7:
Java7 suppose to implement following syntax:
Map<String, String> = {
"key1": "value",
"key2": "value",
"key3": "value",
"key4": "value"
};
However now you're forced to use solutions proposed by Jorn or Tony Ennis.
回答8:
Ok, with Jorn's improvement I can't seem to change the map at all, internally or externally. Perhaps not quite as readable, but if you need the map to be unmodifiable I think this is better.
public class MapTest {
private static Map<String, String> map = initMap();
private static Map<String, String> initMap() {
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("A", "Apple");
map.put("B", "Banana");
// etc
return Collections.unmodifiableMap(map);
}
public Map<String, String> getMap() {
return map;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MapTest m = new MapTest();
System.out.println(m.getMap().get("A"));
m.getMap().put("this", "that");
}
}

I like to do the declaration and initialization on the same line. I've used this handy little utility for so long it basically is my "map literal" and until they're done "right" in the languange, I'm gonna continue on using it like that :)
Happy to share it here.

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
