public final class ListAssocArray
extends HashAssocArray

An AWK associative array materialized from a Java List.

The source list is copied once into normal AWK array storage using zero-based Long keys. After construction, this array behaves like any other AssocArray: scripts may add string keys, delete entries, or create sparse numeric indexes without being constrained by List semantics.

This class also owns normalization of nested Java containers supplied from embedding APIs. Java Map instances remain map-backed for performance, while nested List instances are replaced by materialized AssocArray instances. Recursive object graphs are guarded with an identity-based recursion stack so self-referencing maps or lists do not cause infinite conversion.
