A case-insensitive Map.

Before keys are added to the map or compared to other existing keys, they are converted to all lowercase in a locale-independent fashion by using information from the Unicode data file.

Null keys are supported.

The keySet() method returns all lowercase keys, or nulls.

Example:


 Map map = new CaseInsensitiveMap();
 map.put("One", "One");
 map.put("Two", "Two");
 map.put(null, "Three");
 map.put("one", "Four");
creates a CaseInsensitiveMap with three entries.
map.get(null) returns "Three" and map.get("ONE") returns "Four". The Set returned by keySet() equals {"one", "two", null}.

Note that CaseInsensitiveMap is not synchronized and is not thread-safe. If you wish to use this map from multiple threads concurrently, you must use appropriate synchronization. The simplest approach is to wrap this map using Collections.synchronizedMap(Map<Object,Object>). This class may throw exceptions when accessed by concurrent threads without synchronization.
