## Uses of Interface
java.util.SortedMap

- 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.
