/**
 * This package contains implementations of the
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.BidiMap BidiMap},
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.OrderedBidiMap OrderedBidiMap} and
 * {@link org.apache.commons.collections4.SortedBidiMap SortedBidiMap} interfaces.
 * A BidiMap is an extension to Map that allows keys and values to be looked up with equal ease.
 * One example usage is a system communicating to a legacy datasource that must convert codes
 * from the new format to the old format and vice versa.
 * 
 * The following implementations are provided in the package:
 * 

 *   DualHashBidiMap - uses two HashMaps to implement BidiMap
 *   
DualLinkedHashBidiMap - uses two LinkedHashMaps to implement BidiMap
 *   
DualTreeBidiMap - uses two TreeMaps to implement SortedBidiMap
 *   
TreeBidiMap - red-black tree implementation of OrderedBidiMap
 * 
 * 
 * The following decorators are provided in the package:
 * 

 *   Unmodifiable - ensures the map cannot be altered
 * 
 *
