HashTable vs HashMap
I normally use HashTable to store key-value pairs and it serves the purpose. I have not used HashMap and want to know when to use it? Dose HashMap gives better performance than HashTable?

Thanks in advance.

I don't say about there performance. But in usage your choice is the best. Use HashTable.

Up to you. I use it because it is easy to use.

But keep in mind. In programming performance also a valued concept to think about. In your free time better to do it. I think it is better to do it by myself as well.

Thanks for the good question.
