Java QVariant equivalent?

Question

Does java have a Data type that is similar to QVariant without using the java qt binding?

I want to have a Map< String, QVariant> so that I can have different data types for each value in the container.

Does JAVA have this?

P.S. JAVA noob!

No there isn't... Could be written but good luck with that. Do you mean to say values do not even have a common base type other than `Object`? — fge, Jul 12 '13 at 15:24

I am pretty sure what you are looking for is Object, the "mother of all classes". Use a Map<String, Object> and every value in the map can have a different type.
