Package: libgee-0.8-2 (0.20.5-2)

GObject based collection and utility library

libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and classes for commonly used data structures.

libgee provides the following interfaces:

 * Traversable
   - Iterable
        + Collection
          # List
            * BidirList
          # Set
            * SortedSet
              - BidirSortedSet
          # MultiSet
          # Queue
            * Deque
        + Map
          # SortedMap
            * BidirSortedMap
   - Iterator
        + BidirIterator
          # BidirListIterator
        + ListIterator
          # BidirListIterator
 * MultiMap
 * Future

The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList, PriorityQueue, Promise, 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 provides 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.

This package contains the shared libraries.
