Object:

WGA.Map([otherMap])

Maps have a dynamic size. Elements can be added, inserted and deleted from the map. Their functionality is mostly equal to JavaScript object-s. They are effectively the TMLScript representation of the Java interface java.util.Map.

The map object can optionally be initialised with another WGAMap object or a JavaScript object:

WGA.Map(otherMapObjectOrJSObject)
