Map

create (Function)

Function creates a map pairing the keys and their corresponding values.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:create(<OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> key1, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> value1)
<OBJECT> map:create(<OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> key1, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> value1, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> ...)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
key1	Key 1		OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes
value1	Value 1		OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:create(1, 'one', 2, 'two', 3, 'three')

This returns a map with keys 1, 2, 3 mapped with their corresponding values, one, two, three.

createFromJSON (Function)

Function returns the map created by pairing the keys with their corresponding values given in the JSON string.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:createFromJSON(<STRING> json.string)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
json.string	JSON as a string, which is used to create the map.		STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:createFromJSON("{?symbol' : 'IBM', 'price' : 200, 'volume' : 100}")

This returns a map with the keys symbol, price, and volume, and their values, IBM, 200 and 100 respectively.

createFromXML (Function)

Function returns the map created by pairing the keys with their corresponding values,given as an XML string.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:createFromXML(<STRING> xml.string)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
xml.string	The XML string, which is used to create the map.		STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:createFromXML("<stock>
                      <symbol>IBM</symbol>
                      <price>200</price>
                      <volume>100</volume>
                   </stock>")

This returns a map with the keys symbol, price, volume, and with their values IBM, 200 and 100 respectively.

get (Function)

Function returns the value corresponding to the given key from the map.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:get(<OBJECT> map, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> key)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
map	The map from where the value should be obtained.		OBJECT	No	Yes
key	The key to fetch the value.		OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:get(companyMap, 1)

If the companyMap has key 1 and value ABC in it's set of key value pairs. The function returns ABC.

EXAMPLE 2

map:get(companyMap, 2)

If the companyMap does not have any value for key 2 then the function returns null.

isMap (Function)

Function checks if the object is type of a map.

Syntax

<BOOL> map:isMap(<OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> arg)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
arg	The argument the need to be determined whether it's a map or not.		OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:isMap(students)

Returns 'true' if the students is and an instance of java.util.Map else it returns false.

put (Function)

Function returns the updated map after adding the given key-value pair. If the key already exist in the map the key is updated with the new value.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:put(<OBJECT> map, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> key, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> value)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
map	The map to which the value should be added.	OBJECT	No	Yes
key	The key to be added.	OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes
value	The value to be added.	OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:put(students , 1234 , 'sam')

Function returns the updated map named students after adding the value sam with the key 1234.

putAll (Function)

Function returns the updated map after adding all the key-value pairs from another map. If there are duplicate keys, the key will be assigned new values from the map that's being copied.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:putAll(<OBJECT> to.map, <OBJECT> from.map)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
to.map	The map into which the key-values need to copied.		OBJECT	No	Yes
from.map	The map from which the key-values are copied.		OBJECT	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:putAll(toMap, fromMap)

If toMap contains key-value pairs ('symbol': 'wso2'), ('volume' : 100), and if fromMap contains key-value pairs ('symbol': 'IBM'), ('price' : 12), then the function returns updated toMap with key-value pairs ('symbol': 'IBM'), ('price' : 12), ('volume' : 100).

remove (Function)

Function returns the updated map after removing the element with the specified key.

Syntax

<OBJECT> map:remove(<OBJECT> map, <OBJECT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE|FLOAT|BOOL|STRING> key)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
map	The map that needs to be updated.		OBJECT	No	Yes
key	The key of the element that needs to removed.		OBJECT INT LONG FLOAT DOUBLE FLOAT BOOL STRING	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:remove(students, 1234)

This returns the updated map, students after removing the key-value pair corresponding to the key 1234.

toJSON (Function)

Function converts a map into a JSON object and returns the JSON as a string.

Syntax

<STRING> map:toJSON(<OBJECT> map)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
map	The map that needs to be converted to JSON		OBJECT	No	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

map:toJSON(company)

If company is a map with key-value pairs, ('symbol': 'wso2'),('volume' : 100), and ('price', 200), it returns the JSON string {"symbol" : "wso2", "volume" : 100 , "price" : 200}.

toXML (Function)

Function returns the map as an XML string.

Syntax

<STRING> map:toXML(<OBJECT> map)
<STRING> map:toXML(<OBJECT> map, <OBJECT|STRING> root.element.name)

QUERY PARAMETERS

Name	Description	Default Value	Possible Data Types	Optional	Dynamic
map	The map that needs to be converted to XML.		OBJECT	No	Yes
root.element.name	The root element of the map.	The XML root element will be ignored	OBJECT STRING	Yes	Yes

Examples EXAMPLE 1

toXML(company, 'abcCompany')

If company is a map with key-value pairs, ('symbol' : 'wso2'), ('volume' : 100), and ('price' : 200), this function returns XML as a string, <abcCompany><symbol>wso2</symbol><volume><100></volume><price>200</price></abcCompany>.

EXAMPLE 2

toXML(company)

If company is a map with key-value pairs, ('symbol' : 'wso2'), ('volume' : 100), and ('price' : 200), this function returns XML without root element as a string, <symbol>wso2</symbol><volume><100></volume><price>200</price>.
