1. Hashtable is synchronized which means Hashtable is thread
safe and that can be shared with multiple threads (Suitable
for multi threaded applications), HashMap not synchronized
(Suitable for single threaded applications).
2. Iterator in the Hashtable is fail-fast iterator and throw
ConcurrentModificationException if any other thread modifies
the map by adding or removing elements from the Map, while
Emnumeration in HashMap not.
3. Hashtable is slower than HashMap because of synchronization.
4. HashTable does not allow null for both keys and values,
you will get NullPointerException if you add null. whereas
HashMap allows one null key and any number of null values.
5. Hashtable and HashMap allows duplicate values.
6. Hashtable store objects in insertion order but HashMap
doesn’t store objects in insertion order, to store objects
in insertion order use LinkedHashMap.
