Overview:

If you've used Java—or just about any programming language—you're already familiar with collections. However, earlier (pre-1.2) versions of Java did not contain a collections framework. A collections framework--a unified architecture for representing and manipulating collections—reduces programming effort by providing high-performance, high-quality implementations of useful data structures and algorithms, thus freeing developers to concentrate on the important parts of a program—quality and performance--rather than on the low-level "plumbing" required to make it work. This sample chapter from The Java Tutorial: A Short Course on the Basics, 4th Edition describes the Java Collections Framework. Explore what collections are and how they can make your job easier and programs better. Then, investigate in detail the core elements—interfaces, implementations, and algorithms—that comprise the Java Collections Framework.
