## 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, some internationalization support classes, a service loader, properties, random number generation, string parsing and scanning classes, base64 encoding and decoding, a bit array, and several miscellaneous utility classes.
  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.
