indexmap

crates docs rustc

A pure-Rust hash table which preserves (in a limited sense) insertion order.

This crate implements compact map and set data-structures, where the iteration order of the keys is independent from their hash or value. It preserves insertion order (except after removals), and it allows lookup of entries by either hash table key or numerical index.

Note: this crate was originally released under the name ordermap, but it was renamed to indexmap to better reflect its features.

Background

This was inspired by Python 3.6's new dict implementation (which remembers the insertion order and is fast to iterate, and is compact in memory).

Some of those features were translated to Rust, and some were not. The result was indexmap, a hash table that has following properties:

• Order is independent of hash function and hash values of keys.
• Fast to iterate.
• Indexed in compact space.
• Preserves insertion order as long as you don't call .remove().
• Uses hashbrown for the inner table, just like Rust's libstd HashMap does.

Recent Changes

• 1.6.1
  • The new serde_seq module implements IndexMap serialization as a sequence to ensure order is preserved, by @cuviper in PR 158.
  • New methods on maps and sets work like the Vec/slice methods by the same name: truncate, split_off, first, first_mut, last, last_mut, and swap_indices, by @cuviper in PR 160.

• 1.6.0
  • MSRV: Rust 1.36 or later is now required.
  • The hashbrown dependency has been updated to version 0.9.
• 1.5.2
  • The new "std" feature will force the use of std for users that explicitly want the default S = RandomState, bypassing the autodetection added in 1.3.0, by @cuviper in PR 145.

• 1.5.1
  • Values can now be indexed by their usize position by @cuviper in PR 132.
  • Some of the generic bounds have been relaxed to match std by @cuviper in PR 141.
  • drain now accepts any R: RangeBounds<usize> by @cuviper in PR 142.

• 1.5.0
  • MSRV: Rust 1.32 or later is now required.
  • The inner hash table is now based on hashbrown by @cuviper in PR 131. This also completes the method reserve and adds shrink_to_fit.
  • Add new methods get_key_value, remove_entry, swap_remove_entry, and shift_remove_entry, by @cuviper in PR 136
  • Clone::clone_from reuses allocations by @cuviper in PR 125
  • Add new method reverse by @linclelinkpart5 in PR 128

• 1.4.0
  • Add new method get_index_of by @Thermatrix in PR 115 and 120
  • Fix build script rebuild-if-changed configuration to use "build.rs"; fixes issue 123. Fix by @cuviper.
  • Dev-dependencies (rand and quickcheck) have been updated. The crate's tests now run using Rust 1.32 or later (MSRV for building the crate has not changed). by @kjeremy and @bluss

• 1.3.2
  • Maintenance update to regenerate the published Cargo.toml.
• 1.3.1
  • Maintenance update for formatting and autocfg 1.0.
• 1.3.0
  • The deprecation messages in the previous version have been removed. (The methods have not otherwise changed.) Docs for removal methods have been improved.
  • From Rust 1.36, this crate supports being built without std, requiring alloc instead. This is enabled automatically when it is detected that std is not available. There is no crate feature to enable/disable to trigger this. The new build-dep autocfg enables this.
• 1.2.0
  • Plain .remove() now has a deprecation message, it informs the user about picking one of the removal functions swap_remove and shift_remove which have different performance and order semantics. Plain .remove() will not be removed, the warning message and method will remain until further.
  • Add new method shift_remove for order preserving removal on the map, and shift_take for the corresponding operation on the set.
  • Add methods swap_remove, swap_remove_entry to Entry.
  • Fix indexset/indexmap to support full paths, like indexmap::indexmap!()
  • Internal improvements: fix warnings, deprecations and style lints
• 1.1.0
  • Added optional feature "rayon" that adds parallel iterator support to IndexMap and IndexSet using Rayon. This includes all the regular iterators in parallel versions, and parallel sort.
  • Implemented Clone for map::{Iter, Keys, Values} and set::{Difference, Intersection, Iter, SymmetricDifference, Union}
  • Implemented Debug for map::{Entry, IntoIter, Iter, Keys, Values} and set::{Difference, Intersection, IntoIter, Iter, SymmetricDifference, Union}
  • Serde trait IntoDeserializer are implemented for IndexMap and IndexSet.
  • Minimum Rust version requirement increased to Rust 1.30 for development builds.
• 1.0.2
  • The new methods IndexMap::insert_full and IndexSet::insert_full are both like insert with the index included in the return value.
  • The new method Entry::and_modify can be used to modify occupied entries, matching the new methods of std maps in Rust 1.26.
  • The new method Entry::or_default inserts a default value in unoccupied entries, matching the new methods of std maps in Rust 1.28.
• 1.0.1
  • Document Rust version policy for the crate (see rustdoc)
• 1.0.0
  • This is the 1.0 release for indexmap! (the crate and datastructure formerly known as “ordermap”)
  • OccupiedEntry::insert changed its signature, to use &mut self for the method receiver, matching the equivalent method for a standard HashMap. Thanks to @dtolnay for finding this bug.
  • The deprecated old names from ordermap were removed: OrderMap, OrderSet, ordermap!{}, orderset!{}. Use the new IndexMap etc names instead.
• 0.4.1
  • Renamed crate to indexmap; the ordermap crate is now deprecated and the types OrderMap/Set now have a deprecation notice.
• 0.4.0
  • This is the last release series for this ordermap under that name, because the crate is going to be renamed to indexmap (with types IndexMap, IndexSet) and no change in functionality!
  • The map and its associated structs moved into the map submodule of the crate, so that the map and set are symmetric
    • The iterators, Entry and other structs are now under ordermap::map::
  • Internally refactored OrderMap<K, V, S> so that all the main algorithms (insertion, lookup, removal etc) that don't use the S parameter (the hasher) are compiled without depending on S, which reduces generics bloat.
  • Entry<K, V> no longer has a type parameter S, which is just like the standard HashMap's entry.
  • Minimum Rust version requirement increased to Rust 1.18
• 0.3.5
  • Documentation improvements
• 0.3.4
  • The .retain() methods for OrderMap and OrderSet now traverse the elements in order, and the retained elements keep their order
  • Added new methods .sort_by(), .sort_keys() to OrderMap and .sort_by(), .sort() to OrderSet. These methods allow you to sort the maps in place efficiently.
• 0.3.3
  • Document insertion behaviour better by @lucab
  • Updated dependences (no feature changes) by @ignatenkobrain
• 0.3.2
  • Add OrderSet by @cuviper!
  • OrderMap::drain is now (too) a double ended iterator.
• 0.3.1
  • In all ordermap iterators, forward the collect method to the underlying iterator as well.
  • Add crates.io categories.
• 0.3.0
  • The methods get_pair, get_pair_index were both replaced by get_full (and the same for the mutable case).
  • Method swap_remove_pair replaced by swap_remove_full.
  • Add trait MutableKeys for opt-in mutable key access. Mutable key access is only possible through the methods of this extension trait.
  • Add new trait Equivalent for key equivalence. This extends the Borrow trait mechanism for OrderMap::get in a backwards compatible way, just some minor type inference related issues may become apparent. See #10 for more information.
  • Implement Extend<(&K, &V)> by @xfix.

• 0.2.13
  • Fix deserialization to support custom hashers by @Techcable.

• 0.2.10
  • Add iterator .drain(..) by @stevej.
• 0.2.9

  • Fix compatibility with 32-bit platforms.
• 0.2.7
  • Add .retain().

  • Improved .pop() slightly.
• 0.2.4
  • Improved performance of .insert() (#3) by @pczarn.

• 0.2.3
  • Generalize Entry for now, so that it works on hashmaps with non-default hasher. However, there's a lingering compat issue since libstd HashMap does not parameterize its entries by the hasher (S typarm).
  • Special case some iterator methods like .nth().
• 0.2.2
  • Disable the verbose Debug impl by default.
• 0.2.1
  • Fix doc links and clarify docs.
