HashMap provides a standardized API for working with key / value pairs.

The following example demonstrates a typical client implementation of a Hashmap
instance in which  key / value pairs are added and retrieved.

import com.ericfeminella.collections.HashMap;
import com.ericfeminella.collections.IMap;

private function init() : void
{
    var map:IMap = new HashMap();
    map.put("a", "value A");
    map.put("b", "value B");
    map.put("c", "value C");
    map.put("x", "value X");
    map.put("y", "value Y");

    trace( map.getKeys() ); // b,x,z,a,c,y
    trace( map.getValues() ); // value B,value X,value Z,value A,value C,value Y
    trace( map.size() ); // 6
}
