- ## Constructor Details

  - ### SimpleBindings

    public SimpleBindings(Map<String,Object> m)
    Constructor uses an existing `Map` to store the values.
    Parameters:
      `m` - The `Map` backing this `SimpleBindings`.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if m is null

  - ### SimpleBindings

    public SimpleBindings()
    Default constructor uses a `HashMap`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### put

    public Object put(String name, Object value)
    Sets the specified key/value in the underlying `map` field.
    Specified by:
      `put` in interface `Bindings`
    Specified by:
      `put` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of value
      `value` - Value to set.
    Returns:
      Previous value for the specified key. Returns null if key was previously unset.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if the name is null.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the name is empty.

  - ### putAll

    public void putAll(Map<? extends String,? extends Object> toMerge)
    `putAll` is implemented using `Map.putAll`.
    Specified by:
      `putAll` in interface `Bindings`
    Specified by:
      `putAll` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `toMerge` - The `Map` of values to add.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if toMerge map is null or if some key in the map is null.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if some key in the map is an empty String.

  - ### clear

    public void clear()
    Removes all of the mappings from this map (optional operation). The map will be empty after this call returns.
    Specified by:
      `clear` in interface `Map<String,Object>`

  - ### containsKey

    public boolean containsKey(Object key)
    Returns `true` if this map contains a mapping for the specified key. More formally, returns `true` if and only if this map contains a mapping for a key `k` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`. (There can be at most one such mapping.)
    Specified by:
      `containsKey` in interface `Bindings`
    Specified by:
      `containsKey` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `key` - key whose presence in this map is to be tested.
    Returns:
      `true` if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if key is null
      `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

  - ### containsValue

    public boolean containsValue(Object value)
    Returns `true` if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. More formally, returns `true` if and only if this map contains at least one mapping to a value `v` such that `Objects.equals(value, v)`. This operation will probably require time linear in the map size for most implementations of the `Map` interface.
    Specified by:
      `containsValue` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `value` - value whose presence in this map is to be tested
    Returns:
      `true` if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value

  - ### entrySet

    public Set<Map.Entry<String,Object>> entrySet()
    Returns a `Set` view of the mappings contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation, or through the `setValue` operation on a map entry returned by the iterator) the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Set.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll` and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.
    Specified by:
      `entrySet` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Returns:
      a set view of the mappings contained in this map

  - ### get

    public Object get(Object key)
    Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. Returns `null` if the map contains no mapping for this key. A return value of `null` does not necessarily indicate that the map contains no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the map explicitly maps the key to `null`. The `containsKey` operation may be used to distinguish these two cases.

    More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key `k` to a value `v` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`, then this method returns `v`; otherwise it returns `null`. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `Bindings`
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `key` - key whose associated value is to be returned.
    Returns:
      the value to which this map maps the specified key, or `null` if the map contains no mapping for this key.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if key is null
      `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

  - ### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty()
    Returns `true` if this map contains no key-value mappings.
    Specified by:
      `isEmpty` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Returns:
      `true` if this map contains no key-value mappings

  - ### keySet

    public Set<String> keySet()
    Returns a `Set` view of the keys contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the set is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Set.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll`, and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.
    Specified by:
      `keySet` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Returns:
      a set view of the keys contained in this map

  - ### remove

    public Object remove(Object key)
    Removes the mapping for this key from this map if it is present (optional operation). More formally, if this map contains a mapping from key `k` to value `v` such that `(key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k))`, that mapping is removed. (The map can contain at most one such mapping.)

    Returns the value to which the map previously associated the key, or `null` if the map contained no mapping for this key. (A `null` return can also indicate that the map previously associated `null` with the specified key if the implementation supports `null` values.) The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.

    Specified by:
      `remove` in interface `Bindings`
    Specified by:
      `remove` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Parameters:
      `key` - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map.
    Returns:
      previous value associated with specified key, or `null` if there was no mapping for key.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if key is null
      `ClassCastException` - if key is not String
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if key is empty String

  - ### size

    public int size()
    Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. If the map contains more than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` elements, returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.
    Specified by:
      `size` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Returns:
      the number of key-value mappings in this map

  - ### values

    public Collection<Object> values()
    Returns a `Collection` view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. If the map is modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress (except through the iterator's own `remove` operation), the results of the iteration are undefined. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Collection.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll` and `clear` operations. It does not support the `add` or `addAll` operations.
    Specified by:
      `values` in interface `Map<String,Object>`
    Returns:
      a collection view of the values contained in this map
