org.miniauth.util.ParamMapUtil

public final class ParamMapUtil
extends Object

We mainly use three types are maps in handling query/form parameters: Map Map (or, Map) Map These are all related, but unfortunately, depending on the context, one form is more convenient than others. Note: The original request parameters can always be represented as Map since a param can have multiple values. Once we assume the value is (or, should be) unique, we can use Map. The value has an intrinsic type (e.g., int, or a serialized object, etc.), and hence Map can be ultimately "cast" to Map. This class defines "conversion" routines among these different Map types. TBD: We need to be more consistent in the use of these maps and reduce the need for these "conversions".
