# @ohos.util.TreeMap (Nonlinear Container TreeMap)

**TreeMap** stores key-value (KV) pairs. Each key must be unique and have only one value.

**TreeMap** is implemented using a red-black tree, which is a binary search tree where keys are stored in sorted order for efficient insertion and removal.

**[HashMap](js-apis-treemap.md)** is faster in accessing data than **TreeMap**, because the former accesses data based on the hash code of the key, whereas the latter stores and accesses the keys in sorted order.

Recommended use case: Use **TreeMap** when you need to store KV pairs in sorted order.

This topic uses the following to identify the use of generics:

- K: Key

- V: Value

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
