Hashmap work as like as Hashtable but hashtable is
synchronised hash map was not sychronized
hashtable does not allow null values
hashmap allows null values

Answer / chandan phukan

Two main differences between Hastable and HashMap are

1. Hashtable is synchronised but HashMap is not.
2. Hashtable does not allow "null" key but HashMap allows
"null" Key.

However one point to remember is that only one "null" key is
allowed in HashMap but multiple "null" values are allowed in
HashMap.

Answer / arun rajesh

The HashMap class is roughly equivalent to Hashtable,
except that it is unsynchronized and permits nulls.
(HashMap allows null values as key and value whereas
Hashtable doesnt allow).

HashMap does not guarantee that the order of the map will
remain constant over time. HashMap is unsynchronized and
Hashtable is synchronized.

Answer / knowledge_finder

1. HashMap allows null values for key and value whereas
Hashtable doesnt allow.
2. HashMap does not guarantee that the order of the map will
remain constant over time. 3. HashMap is non synchronized
where as Hashtable is synchronized.
4. HashTable is an Old java class but Hashmap is a new java
class in java 2.
5. In HashTable you can change the iteration but in the case
of HashMap you can change the iteration but you will get a
java.util.ConcurrentModificationException.

null key and multiple null values...Whereas the HashTable

HashMap allows only one null key, basic idea behind it is
that key can have unique value only if one null is assigned
to a key next null will be duplicate.
