| <h1>The Collections Framework</h1> | |
| <!-- Body text begins here --> | |
| <p>The collections framework is a unified architecture for | |
| representing and manipulating collections, enabling them to be | |
| manipulated independently of the details of their representation. | |
| It reduces programming effort while increasing performance. It | |
| enables interoperability among unrelated APIs, reduces effort in | |
| designing and learning new APIs, and fosters software reuse. The | |
| framework is based on more than a dozen collection interfaces. It | |
| includes implementations of these interfaces and algorithms to | |
| manipulate them.</p> | |
| <p>The documents in this section are non-normative portions of | |
| the Java Platform, Standard Edition API Specification.</p> | |
