Libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and

classes for commonly used data structures.

 

Libgee provides the following interfaces:

 

* Iterable

o Collection

+ List

+ Set

+ MultiSet

+ Queue

# Deque

* Iterator

* Map

* MultiMap

 

The ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList,

PriorityQueue, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap classes

provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces. In

addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease the

implementation of new collections.

 

Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views,

efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable

iterators depending on the collection type.

 

Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C

library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
