The Map object is a key/value pair. The values and keys in a map may be of any type. A Map is a dynamic collection that can grow and shrink at runtime.

Syntax

The syntax to declare a map is:

var identifier = new Map()

Example

Here is an example of how to use map in Dart:

void main() {
   var details = {'Cat':'jeff','Color':'brown'};
   print(details);
}

The above code gives the following output:

{Cat: jeff, Color: brown}
