There are several differences between HashMap and Hashtable in Java:
Hashtabledoes not allow null keys or values.HashMapallows one null key and any number ofnullvalues.- One of HashMap's subclasses is LinkedHashMap, so in the event that you'd want predictable iteration order (which is insertion order by default), you could easily swap out the
HashMapfor aLinkedHashMap. This wouldn't be as easy if you were usingHashtable.
Since synchronization is not an issue for you, I'd recommend
HashMap. If synchronization becomes an issue, you may also look at ConcurrentHashMap.
