## map {#map}

Creates a value of type [Map(key, value)](../data-types/map.md) from key-value pairs.

**Syntax**

```sql
map(key1, value1[, key2, value2, ...])
```

**Arguments**

- `key_n` — The keys of the map entries. Any type supported as key type of [Map](../data-types/map.md).
- `value_n` — The values of the map entries. Any type supported as value type of [Map](../data-types/map.md).

**Returned value**

- A map containing `key:value` pairs. [Map(key, value)](../data-types/map.md).

**Examples**

Query:

```sql
SELECT map('key1', number, 'key2', number * 2) FROM numbers(3);
```

Result:

```text
┌─map('key1', number, 'key2', multiply(number, 2))─┐
│ {'key1':0,'key2':0}                              │
│ {'key1':1,'key2':2}                              │
│ {'key1':2,'key2':4}                              │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## mapFromArrays {#mapfromarrays}

Creates a map from an array or map of keys and an array or map of values.

The function is a convenient alternative to syntax `CAST([...], 'Map(key_type, value_type)')`.
For example, instead of writing
- `CAST((['aa', 'bb'], [4, 5]), 'Map(String, UInt32)')`, or
- `CAST([('aa',4), ('bb',5)], 'Map(String, UInt32)')`

you can write `mapFromArrays(['aa', 'bb'], [4, 5])`.

**Syntax**

```sql
mapFromArrays(keys, values)
```

Alias: `MAP_FROM_ARRAYS(keys, values)`

**Arguments**

- `keys` —  Array or map of keys to create the map from [Array](../data-types/array.md) or [Map](../data-types/map.md). If `keys` is an array, we accept `Array(Nullable(T))` or `Array(LowCardinality(Nullable(T)))` as its type as long as it doesn't contain NULL value.
- `values`  - Array or map of values to create the map from [Array](../data-types/array.md) or [Map](../data-types/map.md).

**Returned value**

- A map with keys and values constructed from the key array and value array/map.

**Example**

Query:

```sql
SELECT mapFromArrays(['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3])
```

Result:

```response
┌─mapFromArrays(['a', 'b', 'c'], [1, 2, 3])─┐
│ {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3}                       │
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

`mapFromArrays` also accepts arguments of type [Map](../data-types/map.md). These are cast to array of tuples during execution.

```sql
SELECT mapFromArrays([1, 2, 3], map('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3))
```

Result:

```response
┌─mapFromArrays([1, 2, 3], map('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3))─┐
│ {1:('a',1),2:('b',2),3:('c',3)}                       │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

```sql
SELECT mapFromArrays(map('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3), [1, 2, 3])
```

Result:

```response
┌─mapFromArrays(map('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3), [1, 2, 3])─┐
│ {('a',1):1,('b',2):2,('c',3):3}                       │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## extractKeyValuePairs {#extractkeyvaluepairs}

Converts a string of key-value pairs to a [Map(String, String)](../data-types/map.md).
Parsing is tolerant towards noise (e.g. log files).
Key-value pairs in the input string consist of a key, followed by a key-value delimiter, and a value.
Key value pairs are separated by a pair delimiter.
Keys and values can be quoted.

**Syntax**

```sql
extractKeyValuePairs(data[, key_value_delimiter[, pair_delimiter[, quoting_character[, unexpected_quoting_character_strategy]]])
```

Alias:
- `str_to_map`
- `mapFromString`

**Arguments**

- `data` - String to extract key-value pairs from. [String](../data-types/string.md) or [FixedString](../data-types/fixedstring.md).
- `key_value_delimiter` - Single character delimiting keys and values. Defaults to `:`. [String](../data-types/string.md) or [FixedString](../data-types/fixedstring.md).
- `pair_delimiters` - Set of character delimiting pairs. Defaults to ` `, `,` and `;`. [String](../data-types/string.md) or [FixedString](../data-types/fixedstring.md).
- `quoting_character` - Single character used as quoting character. Defaults to `"`. [String](../data-types/string.md) or [FixedString](../data-types/fixedstring.md).
- `unexpected_quoting_character_strategy` - Strategy to handle quoting characters in unexpected places during `read_key` and `read_value` phase. Possible values: "invalid", "accept" and "promote". Invalid will discard key/value and transition back to `WAITING_KEY` state. Accept will treat it as a normal character. Promote will transition to `READ_QUOTED_{KEY/VALUE}` state and start from next character.

**Returned values**

- A of key-value pairs. Type: [Map(String, String)](../data-types/map.md) 

**Examples**

Query

```sql
SELECT extractKeyValuePairs('name:neymar, age:31 team:psg,nationality:brazil') AS kv
```

│ {'name':'neymar','age':'31','team':'psg','nationality':'brazil'}        │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

With a single quote `'` as quoting character:

```sql
SELECT extractKeyValuePairs('name:\'neymar\';\'age\':31;team:psg;nationality:brazil,last_key:last_value', ':', ';,', '\'') AS kv
```

Result:

```text

```

```text
┌─kv──┐
│ {}  │
└─────┘
```

```sql
SELECT extractKeyValuePairs('name"abc":5', ':', ' ,;', '\"', 'PROMOTE') AS kv;
```

```text
┌─kv───────────┐
│ {'abc':'5'}  │
└──────────────┘
```

Escape sequences without escape sequences support:

```sql
SELECT extractKeyValuePairs('age:a\\x0A\\n\\0') AS kv
```

Result:

```text
┌─kv─────────────────────┐
│ {'age':'a\\x0A\\n\\0'} │
└────────────────────────┘
```

To restore a map string key-value pairs serialized with `toString`:

```sql
SELECT
    map('John', '33', 'Paula', '31') AS m,
    toString(m) AS map_serialized,
    extractKeyValuePairs(map_serialized, ':', ',', '\'') AS map_restored
FORMAT Vertical;
```

Result:

```response
Row 1:
──────
m:              {'John':'33','Paula':'31'}
map_serialized: {'John':'33','Paula':'31'}
map_restored:   {'John':'33','Paula':'31'}
```

## extractKeyValuePairsWithEscaping {#extractkeyvaluepairswithescaping}

Same as `extractKeyValuePairs` but supports escaping.

Supported escape sequences: `\x`, `\N`, `\a`, `\b`, `\e`, `\f`, `\n`, `\r`, `\t`, `\v` and `\0`.
Non standard escape sequences are returned as it is (including the backslash) unless they are one of the following:
`\\`, `'`, `"`, `backtick`, `/`, `=` or ASCII control characters (c &lt;= 31).

This function will satisfy the use case where pre-escaping and post-escaping are not suitable. For instance, consider the following
input string: `a: "aaaa\"bbb"`. The expected output is: `a: aaaa\"bbbb`.
- Pre-escaping: Pre-escaping it will output: `a: "aaaa"bbb"` and `extractKeyValuePairs` will then output: `a: aaaa`
- Post-escaping: `extractKeyValuePairs` will output `a: aaaa\` and post-escaping will keep it as it is.

Leading escape sequences will be skipped in keys and will be considered invalid for values.

**Examples**

Escape sequences with escape sequence support turned on:

```sql
SELECT extractKeyValuePairsWithEscaping('age:a\\x0A\\n\\0') AS kv
```

Result:

```response
┌─kv────────────────┐
│ {'age':'a\n\n\0'} │
└───────────────────┘
```

## mapPopulateSeries {#mappopulateseries}

Fills missing key-value pairs in a map with integer keys.
To support extending the keys beyond the largest value, a maximum key can be specified.
More specifically, the function returns a map in which the the keys form a series from the smallest to the largest key (or `max` argument if it specified) with step size of 1, and corresponding values.
If no value is specified for a key, a default value is used as value.
In case keys repeat, only the first value (in order of appearance) is associated with the key.

**Syntax**

```sql
mapPopulateSeries(map[, max])
mapPopulateSeries(keys, values[, max])
```

For array arguments the number of elements in `keys` and `values` must be the same for each row.

**Arguments**

Arguments are [Maps](../data-types/map.md) or two [Arrays](/sql-reference/data-types/array), where the first and second array contains keys and values for the each key.

## mapConcat {#mapconcat}

Concatenates multiple maps based on the equality of their keys.
If elements with the same key exist in more than one input map, all elements are added to the result map, but only the first one is accessible via operator `[]`

**Syntax**

```sql
mapConcat(maps)
```

**Arguments**

-   `maps` – Arbitrarily many [Maps](../data-types/map.md).

**Returned value**

- Returns a map with concatenated maps passed as arguments.

**Examples**

Query:

```sql
SELECT mapConcat(map('key1', 1, 'key3', 3), map('key2', 2)) AS map;
```

Result:

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'key1':1,'key3':3,'key2':2} │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```

Query:

```sql
SELECT mapConcat(map('key1', 1, 'key2', 2), map('key1', 3)) AS map, map['key1'];
```

Result:

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┬─elem─┐
│ {'key1':1,'key2':2,'key1':3} │    1 │
└──────────────────────────────┴──────┘
```

## mapExists(\[func,\], map) {#mapexistsfunc-map}

Returns 1 if at least one key-value pair in `map` exists for which `func(key, value)` returns something other than 0. Otherwise, it returns 0.

:::note
`mapExists` is a [higher-order function](/sql-reference/functions/overview#higher-order-functions).
You can pass a lambda function to it as the first argument.
:::

**Example**

Query:

```sql
SELECT mapExists((k, v) -> (v = 1), map('k1', 1, 'k2', 2)) AS res
```

Result:

```response
┌─res─┐
│   1 │
└─────┘
```

## mapAll(\[func,\] map) {#mapallfunc-map}

Returns 1 if `func(key, value)` returns something other than 0 for all key-value pairs in `map`. Otherwise, it returns 0.

:::note
Note that the `mapAll` is a [higher-order function](/sql-reference/functions/overview#higher-order-functions).
You can pass a lambda function to it as the first argument.
:::

**Example**

Query:

```sql
SELECT mapAll((k, v) -> (v = 1), map('k1', 1, 'k2', 2)) AS res
```

Result:

```response
┌─res─┐
│   0 │
└─────┘
```

## mapSort(\[func,\], map) {#mapsortfunc-map}

Sorts the elements of a map in ascending order.
If the `func` function is specified, the sorting order is determined by the result of the `func` function applied to the keys and values of the map.

**Examples**

```sql
SELECT mapSort(map('key2', 2, 'key3', 1, 'key1', 3)) AS map;
```

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'key1':3,'key2':2,'key3':1} │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```

```sql
SELECT mapSort((k, v) -> v, map('key2', 2, 'key3', 1, 'key1', 3)) AS map;
```

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'key3':1,'key2':2,'key1':3} │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```

## mapPartialSort {#mappartialsort}

Sorts the elements of a map in ascending order with additional `limit` argument allowing partial sorting. 
If the `func` function is specified, the sorting order is determined by the result of the `func` function applied to the keys and values of the map.

**Syntax**

```sql
mapPartialSort([func,] limit, map)
```
**Arguments**

- `func` – Optional function to apply to the keys and values of the map. [Lambda function](/sql-reference/functions/overview#higher-order-functions).
- `limit` – Elements in range [1..limit] are sorted. [(U)Int](../data-types/int-uint.md).
- `map` – Map to sort. [Map](../data-types/map.md).

**Returned value**

- Partially sorted map. [Map](../data-types/map.md).

**Example**

```sql
SELECT mapPartialSort((k, v) -> v, 2, map('k1', 3, 'k2', 1, 'k3', 2));
```

```text
┌─mapPartialSort(lambda(tuple(k, v), v), 2, map('k1', 3, 'k2', 1, 'k3', 2))─┐
│ {'k2':1,'k3':2,'k1':3}                                                    │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## mapReverseSort(\[func,\], map) {#mapreversesortfunc-map}

Sorts the elements of a map in descending order.
If the `func` function is specified, the sorting order is determined by the result of the `func` function applied to the keys and values of the map.

**Examples**

```sql
SELECT mapReverseSort(map('key2', 2, 'key3', 1, 'key1', 3)) AS map;
```

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'key3':1,'key2':2,'key1':3} │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```

```sql
SELECT mapReverseSort((k, v) -> v, map('key2', 2, 'key3', 1, 'key1', 3)) AS map;
```

```text
┌─map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'key1':3,'key2':2,'key3':1} │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```
