Uses of Interface java.util.SortedMap (Java Platform SE 8 )

Packages that use SortedMap
Package	Description
java.nio.charset	Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and Unicode characters.
java.util	Contains the collections framework, legacy collection classes, event model, date and time facilities, internationalization, and miscellaneous utility classes (a string tokenizer, a random-number generator, and a bit array).
java.util.concurrent	Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming.
java.util.jar	Provides classes for reading and writing the JAR (Java ARchive) file format, which is based on the standard ZIP file format with an optional manifest file.

`SortedMap<K,V>`	NavigableMap.`subMap(K fromKey, K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from `fromKey`, inclusive, to `toKey`, exclusive.
`SortedMap<K,V>`	TreeMap.`subMap(K fromKey, K toKey)`
`SortedMap<K,V>`	SortedMap.`subMap(K fromKey, K toKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from `fromKey`, inclusive, to `toKey`, exclusive.
`static <K,V> SortedMap<K,V>`	Collections.`synchronizedSortedMap(SortedMap<K,V> m)` Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) sorted map backed by the specified sorted map.
`SortedMap<K,V>`	NavigableMap.`tailMap(K fromKey)` Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to `fromKey`.
