Serialization of HashMap :
In the below example we are storing the HashMap content in a hashmap.ser serialized file. Once you run the below code it would produce a hashmap.ser file.The hashmap.ser file is then used in the de-serialization of HashMap.
In the below example we are storing the HashMap content in a hashmap.ser serialized file. Once you run the below code it would produce a hashmap.ser file.The hashmap.ser file is then used in the de-serialization of HashMap.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;public class HashMapSerializeExample { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating a HashMap of Integer keys and String values HashMap<Integer, String> hashmap = new HashMap<Integer, String>(); hashmap.put(1, "Value1"); hashmap.put(2, "Value2"); hashmap.put(3, "Value3"); hashmap.put(4, "Value4"); hashmap.put(5, "Value5"); try { FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("hashmap.ser"); ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos); oos.writeObject(hmap); oos.close(); fos.close(); System.out.printf("Serialized HashMap data is saved in hashmap.ser"); }catch(IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); } } }
Output
Serialized HashMap data is saved in hashmap.ser
Deserialization of HashMap : In the deserialization we are reproducing the HashMap object and its content from a serialized file which we have by running the above code.
import java.util.*; public class HashMapDeserializeExample { public static void main(String args[]) { HashMap<Integer, String> map = null; try { FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("hashmap.ser"); ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis); map = (HashMap) ois.readObject(); ois.close(); fis.close(); }catch(IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); return; }catch(ClassNotFoundException c) { System.out.println("Class not found"); c.printStackTrace(); return; } System.out.println("Deserialized HashMap"); // Display content using Iterator Set set = map.entrySet(); Iterator iterator = set.iterator(); while(iterator.hasNext()) { Map.Entry mentry = (Map.Entry)iterator.next(); System.out.print("key: "+ mentry.getKey() + " & Value: "); System.out.println(mentry.getValue()); } } }
Output
Deserialized HashMap key: 1 & Value: Value1 key: 2 & Value: Value2 key: 3 & Value: Value3 key: 4 & Value: Value4 key: 5 & Value: Value5
