Re: HashMap toString, what about the other way?

Also, the toString() output was never designed to be reversed. You can't
parse it correctly if the strings contain comma, equals, spaces, or braces
in the data:

import java.util.*;

class HashMapTest
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        HashMap<String,String> h = new HashMap<String,String>();

        h.put("key1=value1, key2", "value2");
        h.put("key3=value3}\n{key4=value4, key5", "value5");

        System.out.println(h);

        // The hashmap with only two keys in it produces
        // this output:
        //
        // {key1=value1, key2=value2, key3=value3}
        // {key4=value4, key5=value5}
        //
    }
}
