+ <func>
+ <name name="find" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns a tuple <c>{ok, Value}</c> where <c><anno>Value</anno></c> is the value associated with <c><anno>Key</anno></c>,
+ or <c>error</c> if no value is associated with <c><anno>Key</anno></c> in <c><anno>Map</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{"hi" => 42},
+ Key = "hi",
+ maps:find(Key,Map).
+{ok,42} </code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="fold" arity="3"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Calls <c>F(K, V, AccIn)</c> for every <c><anno>K</anno></c> to value <c><anno>V</anno></c>
+ association in <c><anno>Map</anno></c> in
+ arbitrary order. The function <c>fun F/3</c> must return a new accumulator
+ which is passed to the next successive call. <c>maps:fold/3</c> returns the final
+ value of the accumulator. The initial accumulator value <c><anno>Init</anno></c> is returned if
+ the map is empty.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Fun = fun(K,V,AccIn) when is_list(K) -> AccIn + V end,
+ Map = #{"k1" => 1, "k2" => 2, "k3" => 3},
+ maps:fold(Fun,0,Map).

+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="from_list" arity="1"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ The function takes a list of key-value tuples elements and builds a
+ map. The associations may be in any order and both keys and values in the
+ association may be of any term. If the same key appears more than once,
+ the latter (rightmost) value is used and the previous values are ignored.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> List = [{"a",ignored},{1337,"value two"},{42,value_three},{"a",1}],
+ maps:from_list(List).
+#{42 => value_three,1337 => "value two","a" => 1}</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="get" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns the value <c><anno>Value</anno></c> associated with <c><anno>Key</anno></c> if
+ <c><anno>Map</anno></c> contains <c><anno>Key</anno></c>.
+ If no value is associated with <c><anno>Key</anno></c> then the call will
+ fail with an exception.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Key = 1337,
+ Map = #{42 => value_two,1337 => "value one","a" => 1},
+ maps:get(Key,Map).
+"value one"</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="is_key" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns <c>true</c> if map <c><anno>Map</anno></c> contains <c><anno>Key</anno></c> and returns
+ <c>false</c> if it does not contain the <c><anno>Key</anno></c>.
+ The function will fail with an exception if <c><anno>Map</anno></c> is not a Map.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{"42" => value}.
+#{"42"> => value}
+> maps:is_key("42",Map).
+true
+> maps:is_key(value,Map).
+false</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="keys" arity="1"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns a complete list of keys, in arbitrary order, which resides within <c><anno>Map</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{42 => value_three,1337 => "value two","a" => 1},
+ maps:keys(Map).
+[42,1337,"a"]</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="map" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ The function produces a new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c> by calling the function <c>fun F(K, V1)</c> for
+ every <c><anno>K</anno></c> to value <c><anno>V1</anno></c> association in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> in arbitrary order.
+ The function <c>fun F/2</c> must return the value <c><anno>V2</anno></c> to be associated with key <c><anno>K</anno></c> for
+ the new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Fun = fun(K,V1) when is_list(K) -> V1*2 end,
+ Map = #{"k1" => 1, "k2" => 2, "k3" => 3},
+ maps:map(Fun,Map).
+#{"k1" => 2,"k2" => 4,"k3" => 6}</code>

+ <func>
+ <name name="merge" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Merges two maps into a single map <c><anno>Map3</anno></c>. If two keys exists in both maps the
+ value in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> will be superseded by the value in <c><anno>Map2</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map1 = #{a => "value_one", b => "value_two"},
+ Map2 = #{a => 1, c => 2},
+ maps:merge(Map1,Map2).
+#{a => 1,b => "value_two",c => 2}</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="new" arity="0"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns a new empty map.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> maps:new().
+#{}</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="put" arity="3"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Associates <c><anno>Key</anno></c> with value <c><anno>Value</anno></c> and inserts the association into map <c>Map2</c>.
+ If key <c><anno>Key</anno></c> already exists in map <c><anno>Map1</anno></c>, the old associated value is
+ replaced by value <c><anno>Value</anno></c>. The function returns a new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c> containing the new association and
+ the old associations in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{"a" => 1}.
+#{"a" => 1}
+> maps:put("a", 42, Map).
+#{"a" => 42}
+> maps:put("b", 1337, Map).
+#{"a" => 1,"b" => 1337}</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="remove" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ The function removes the <c><anno>Key</anno></c>, if it exists, and its associated value from
+ <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> and returns a new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c> without key <c><anno>Key</anno></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{"a" => 1}.
+#{"a" => 1}
+> maps:remove("a",Map).
+#{}
+> maps:remove("b",Map).
+#{"a" => 1}</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="size" arity="1"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ The function returns the number of key-value associations in the <c><anno>Map</anno></c>.
+ This operation happens in constant time.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{42 => value_two,1337 => "value one","a" => 1},
+ maps:size(Map).
+3</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="to_list" arity="1"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ The fuction returns a list of pairs representing the key-value associations of <c><anno>Map</anno></c>,
+ where the pairs, <c>[{K1,V1}, ..., {Kn,Vn}]</c>, are returned in arbitrary order.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{42 => value_three,1337 => "value two","a" => 1},
+ maps:to_list(Map).
+[{42,value_three},{1337,"value two"},{"a",1}]</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="update" arity="3"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ If <c><anno>Key</anno></c> exists in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> the old associated value is
+ replaced by value <c><anno>Value</anno></c>. The function returns a new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c> containing
+ the new associated value. If <c><anno>Key</anno></c> does not exist in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> an exception is
+ generated.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{"a" => 1}.
+#{"a" => 1}
+> maps:update("a", 42, Map).
+#{"a" => 42}</code>

+ <func>
+ <name name="values" arity="1"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns a complete list of values, in arbitrary order, contained in map <c>M</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>

+ maps:values(Map).
+[value_three,"value two",1]</code>
+ </desc>
+ </func>
+
+ <func>
+ <name name="without" arity="2"/>
+ <fsummary></fsummary>
+ <desc>
+ <p>
+ Returns a new map <c><anno>Map2</anno></c> without the keys <c>K1</c> through <c>Kn</c> and their associated values from map <c><anno>Map1</anno></c>.
+ Any key in <c><anno>Ks</anno></c> that does not exist in <c><anno>Map1</anno></c> are ignored.
+ </p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+> Map = #{42 => value_three,1337 => "value two","a" => 1},
