title: Convert HashMap.toString() back to HashMap in Java
body: <p>I put a key-value pair in a Java <code>HashMap</code> and converted it to a <code>String</code> using the <code>toString()</code> method.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to convert this <code>String</code> representation back to a <code>HashMap</code> object and retrieve the value with its corresponding key?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
