byte_trie

• crate: https://crates.io/crates/byte_trie
• docs: https://docs.rs/byte_trie

A compressed trie structure specifically for a list of bytes. Made while wanting to create a serialized trie of git Oid hashes, which are 20 byte long arrays. Played with some weird node size stuff to (hopefully) optimize the size of a edge node since git oids get unique very fast.

The performance goal is being able to insert and serialize every commit in the linux git repository (825k+ commits), which it does.

Improvements to be made but it works for now.

Features

• Insertion
• Serialization as hex (feature serde)

Todo

• Deletion (and re-compression)
• Documentation
• Testing

Serialization Example

The trie serializes the bytes as hex strings in the same shape it stores the nodes. Compressed, empty nodes are skipped when serializing so that there should be no keys serialized that is an empty string. Here is a small json snippet of a few commits from the Typescript repository from a serialized file of 25k commits.
