Overview

Go ordered sets.

Features:

• LinkedSet: ordered set with near-constant-time (O(1)) performance for inserting, deleting, and moving elements. Backed by a map and a doubly-linked list.

• SyncLinkedSet: concurrency-safe LinkedSet, slightly slower.

• SliceSet: slice-backed ordered set. Simpler and faster for small sets, extreme performance degradation for large sets.

• All implementations share a common interface.

• Small with no dependencies.

See the documentation at https://godoc.org/github.com/mitranim/gord.

Example:

import "github.com/mitranim/gord"

set := gord.NewOrdSet()

// Note the order.
set.Add(20)
set.Add(10)
set.Add(30)

// Redundant and doesn't change the order.
set.Add(30)
set.Add(10)
set.Add(20)

set.Has(10)    // true
set.Has(40)    // false
set.Values()   // []interface{}{20, 10, 30}

set.PopFirst() // 20
set.PopLast()  // 30
set.Values()   // []interface{}{10}

Known Limitations

• Has room for performance optimizations.

• LinkedSet and SyncLinkedSet don't expose a way to iterate over elements without allocating a slice via .Values(). Can be rectified on demand.
