## Interface ObservableMap<K,​V>

- All Superinterfaces:
    `Map<K,​V>`, `Observable`
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    `ObservableMapValue<K,​V>`, `WritableMapValue<K,​V>`
  All Known Implementing Classes:

      public interface ObservableMap<K,​V>
      extends Map<K,​V>, Observable

  A map that allows observers to track changes when they occur.

    - #### addListener

          void addListener​(MapChangeListener<? super K,​? super V> listener)

      Add a listener to this observable map.
      Parameters:
        `listener` - the listener for listening to the list changes

    - #### removeListener

          void removeListener​(MapChangeListener<? super K,​? super V> listener)

      Tries to removed a listener from this observable map. If the listener is not attached to this map, nothing happens.
      Parameters:
        `listener` - a listener to remove
