Direct subclasses of {{java|AbstractSet}} include {{java|ConcurrentSkipListSet}}, {{java|CopyOnWriteArraySet}}, {{java|EnumSet}}, {{java|HashSet}} and {{java|TreeSet}}.
 
====CopyOnWriteArraySetHashSet class====
{{code|CopyOnWriteArraySet}} is a concurrent replacement for a synchronized {{java|Set}}. It provides improved concurrency in many situations by removing the need to perform synchronization or making a copy of the object during iteration, similar to how {{code|CopyOnWriteArrayList}} acts as the concurrent replacement for a synchronized {{java|List}}.{{sfn|Goetz|Peierls|Bloch|Bowbeer|2006|loc=§5.2.3 CopyOnWriteArrayList|pp=86-89}}
On the other hand, similar to {{code|CopyOnWriteArrayList}}, {{code|CopyOnWriteArraySet}} should not be used when sychronization is mandatory.
 
=====HashSet class=====
<code>HashSet</code> uses a hash table. More specifically, it uses a '''{{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.util|class=LinkedHashMap|monotype=y}}''' to store the hashes and elements and to prevent duplicates.
 
======LinkedHashSet class======
The <code>java.util.LinkedHashSet</code> class extends {{java|HashSet}} by creating a doubly linked list that links all of the elements by their insertion order. This ensures that the iteration order over the <code>Set</code> is predictable.
