package org.apache.logging.log4j.util;

An extension of StringMap that imposes a total ordering on its keys. The map is ordered according to the natural ordering of its keys. This order is reflected when consuming the key-value pairs with a BiConsumer or a TriConsumer. 

This interface views all key-value pairs as a sequence ordered by key, and allows
keys and values to be accessed by their index in the sequence.
