## Class AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.map.AbstractIterableMap<K,V>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.map.AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>

- Type Parameters:
    `K` - the type of the keys in the map
    `V` - the type of the values in the map
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Map<K,V>, Get<K,V>, IterableGet<K,V>, IterableMap<K,V>, Put<K,V>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractBidiMapDecorator, AbstractOrderedMapDecorator, AbstractSortedMapDecorator, DefaultedMap, FixedSizeMap, LazyMap, ListOrderedMap, MultiKeyMap, MultiValueMap, PassiveExpiringMap, PredicatedMap, TransformedMap, UnmodifiableMap

      public abstract class AbstractMapDecorator<K,V>
      extends AbstractIterableMap<K,V>

  Provides a base decorator that enables additional functionality to be added to a Map via decoration.

  Methods are forwarded directly to the decorated map.

  This implementation does not perform any special processing with `entrySet()`, `keySet()` or `values()`. Instead it simply returns the set/collection from the wrapped map. This may be undesirable, for example if you are trying to write a validating implementation it would provide a loophole around the validation. But, you might want that loophole, so this class is kept simple.

    3.0
