Class Table

java.lang.Object

fc.util.Table

public final class Table
extends Object

Implements a simple table data structure. Like a 2D array but uses nested hash tables to get (row, col) based on a (name, name) pair. The table grows automatically as needed.

Differs from a 2D Object[][] in that names can be used instead of indices.

All indexes are internally strings. When adding or retrieving values, either numerical and string indices can be specified for either row or col when retrieving a (row,col) value. A numerical index is converted into a string value so if one puts a value at (3, 5), that can later be retrieved as ("3", "5") if desired.

Thread safety: This data structure is fully thread safe.
