Class summary

The MapClass is a class that provides a simple map data structure to store and retrieve key-value pairs. It has methods for adding and updating key-value pairs, removing key-value pairs, checking if a key exists in the map, and retrieving the entire map or individual keys and values. The map also has the ability to be serialized and deserialized.

Arguments

argument name	type	defaultValue	description
other	dynamic	None	A map object or an associative array containing the key-value pairs to be added to the current map.

get
