Difference between HashMap, LinkedHashMap and TreeMap

I prefer visual presentation:

Property HashMap TreeMap LinkedHashMap
Iteration Order no guaranteed order, will remain constant over time sorted according to the natural ordering insertion-order
Get / put / remove / containsKey O(1) O(log(n)) O(1)
Interfaces Map NavigableMap, Map, SortedMap Map
Null values/keys allowed only values allowed
Fail-fast behavior Fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification Fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification Fail-fast behavior of an iterator cannot be guaranteed, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification
Implementation buckets Red-Black Tree double-linked buckets
Is synchronized implementation is not synchronized implementation is not synchronized implementation is not synchronized
