## Uses of Interface
java.util.SortedMap

Packages that use SortedMap
java.nio.charset: Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and Unicode characters.
java.util: Contains the collections framework, some internationalization support classes, a service loader, properties, random number generation, string parsing and scanning classes, base64 encoding and decoding, a bit array, and several miscellaneous utility classes.
java.util.concurrent: Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming.
java.util.jar: Provides classes for reading and writing the JAR (Java ARchive) file format, which is based on the standard ZIP file format with an optional manifest file.

### Uses of SortedMap in java.nio.charset

Methods in java.nio.charset that return SortedMap
`static SortedMap<String,​Charset>` Charset.`availableCharsets()` Constructs a sorted map from canonical charset names to charset objects.

### Uses of SortedMap in java.util

Subinterfaces of SortedMap in java.util
`interface` `NavigableMap<K,​V>` A `SortedMap` extended with navigation methods returning the closest matches for given search targets.

Classes in java.util that implement SortedMap
`class` `TreeMap<K,​V>` A Red-Black tree based `NavigableMap` implementation.

Methods in java.util that return SortedMap
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`checkedSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​V> m, Class<K> keyType, Class<V> valueType)` Returns a dynamically typesafe view of the specified sorted map.
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`emptySortedMap()` Returns an empty sorted map (immutable).
`SortedMap<K,​V>` NavigableMap.`headMap​(K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than `toKey`.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` SortedMap.`headMap​(K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are strictly less than `toKey`.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` TreeMap.`headMap​(K toKey)`
`SortedMap<K,​V>` NavigableMap.`subMap​(K fromKey, K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from `fromKey`, inclusive, to `toKey`, exclusive.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` SortedMap.`subMap​(K fromKey, K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from `fromKey`, inclusive, to `toKey`, exclusive.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` TreeMap.`subMap​(K fromKey, K toKey)`
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`synchronizedSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​V> m)` Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) sorted map backed by the specified sorted map.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` NavigableMap.`tailMap​(K fromKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to `fromKey`.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` SortedMap.`tailMap​(K fromKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to `fromKey`.
`SortedMap<K,​V>` TreeMap.`tailMap​(K fromKey)`
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`unmodifiableSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​? extends V> m)` Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified sorted map.

Methods in java.util with parameters of type SortedMap
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`checkedSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​V> m, Class<K> keyType, Class<V> valueType)` Returns a dynamically typesafe view of the specified sorted map.
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`synchronizedSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​V> m)` Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) sorted map backed by the specified sorted map.
`static <K,​V> SortedMap<K,​V>` Collections.`unmodifiableSortedMap​(SortedMap<K,​? extends V> m)` Returns an unmodifiable view of the specified sorted map.

Constructors in java.util with parameters of type SortedMap
`TreeMap​(SortedMap<K,​? extends V> m)` Constructs a new tree map containing the same mappings and using the same ordering as the specified sorted map.

### Uses of SortedMap in java.util.concurrent

Subinterfaces of SortedMap in java.util.concurrent
`interface` `ConcurrentNavigableMap<K,​V>` A `ConcurrentMap` supporting `NavigableMap` operations, and recursively so for its navigable sub-maps.

Classes in java.util.concurrent that implement SortedMap
`class` `ConcurrentSkipListMap<K,​V>` A scalable concurrent `ConcurrentNavigableMap` implementation.

Constructors in java.util.concurrent with parameters of type SortedMap
`ConcurrentSkipListMap​(SortedMap<K,​? extends V> m)` Constructs a new map containing the same mappings and using the same ordering as the specified sorted map.
