/**
* 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
*
*
