BigMap

BigMap<K, V> is a custom implementation of the native JavaScript Map interface designed to handle an extremely large number of entries. It breaks down large datasets into smaller segments, each managed by its own Map, while maintaining the same API as the native Map for ease of use.

Features

• Extremely Large Capacity: Supports over 16 million entries by segmenting data across multiple internal Map instances.
• Familiar API: Most methods behave exactly like the native Map, so you can use it without needing to learn a new interface.
• Efficient Data Handling: Automatically balances and restructures internal maps to ensure efficient access and memory management.

Usage

import BigMap from "your-library";

const bigMap = new BigMap<string, number>([
  ["key1", 1],
  ["key2", 2],
]);

bigMap.set("key3", 3);
console.log(bigMap.get("key1")); // 1
console.log(bigMap.has("key2")); // true
console.log(bigMap.size); // 3

bigMap.delete("key2");
console.log(bigMap.has("key2")); // false

for (const [key, value] of bigMap) {
  console.log(key, value);
}

Methods

Since BigMap mirrors most native Map methods, detailed descriptions of individual methods are unnecessary. Common methods such as set, get, has, delete, and iteration (e.g., entries(), keys(), values()) work identically to native Map.

Why BigMap?

When you need to manage an exceptionally large dataset that exceeds the limitations of native Map, BigMap ensures that your data remains accessible and organized without compromising on the familiar Map interface.
