<h1> <a name="Sparsehash_Package"></a>Sparsehash Package (formerly
Google Sparsehash) </h1>
<br>
<p>The sparsehash package consists of two hashtable
implementations: <i>sparse</i>, which is designed to be very space
efficient, and <i>dense</i>, which is designed to be very time
efficient. For each one, the package provides both a hash-map and a
hash-set, to mirror the classes in the common STL implementation.</p>
<p>Documentation on how to use these classes:</p>
<ul>
<li> <A HREF="sparse_hash_map.html">sparse_hash_map</A>
<li> <A HREF="sparse_hash_set.html">sparse_hash_set</A>
<li> <A HREF="dense_hash_map.html">dense_hash_map</A>
<li> <A HREF="dense_hash_set.html">dense_hash_set</A>
</ul>
<p>In addition to the hash-map (and hash-set) classes, there's also a
lower-level class that implements a "sparse" array. This class can be
useful in its own right; consider using it when you'd normally use a
<code>sparse_hash_map</code>, but your keys are all small-ish
integers.</p>
<ul>
<li> <A HREF="sparsetable.html">sparsetable</A>
</ul>
<p>There is also a doc explaining the <A
HREF="implementation.html">implementation details</A> of these
classes, for those who are curious. And finally, you can see some
<A HREF="performance.html">performance comparisons</A>, both between
the various classes here, but also between these implementations and
other standard hashtable implementations.</p>
