Everything needed to run a comprehensive dev environment. Just type X_ and pick a service from autocomplete; new dev modules will be added as they are built. The only dev service not included in the uber jar is xapi-dev-maven, as it includes all runtime dependencies of maven, adding ~4 seconds to build time, and 6 megabytes to the final output jar size (without xapi-dev-maven, it's ~1MB).

The newest version!

/**
 * A simple dictionary interface, that avoids overwriting java.util.Map
 * interface methods, and can bind to whatever native construct
 * best supports an Object-to-Object mapping. JSOs in javascript, HashMap in jre
 *
 * Note that JSO support requires a key-transformer for everything but String;
 * if you want maximum runtime performance, use {@link xapi.gwt.collect.StringToGwt},
 * or {@link xapi.collect.X_Collect::newStringDictionary()}
