go-immutable-radix [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/go-immutable-radix.png)](https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/go-immutable-radix)
|
||
|
=========
|
||
|
|
||
|
Provides the `iradix` package that implements an immutable [radix tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree).
|
||
|
The package only provides a single `Tree` implementation, optimized for sparse nodes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As a radix tree, it provides the following:
|
||
|
* O(k) operations. In many cases, this can be faster than a hash table since
|
||
|
the hash function is an O(k) operation, and hash tables have very poor cache locality.
|
||
|
* Minimum / Maximum value lookups
|
||
|
* Ordered iteration
|
||
|
|
||
|
A tree supports using a transaction to batch multiple updates (insert, delete)
|
||
|
in a more efficient manner than performing each operation one at a time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a mutable variant, see [go-radix](https://github.com/armon/go-radix).

Documentation
|
||
|
=============
|
||
|
|
||
|
The full documentation is available on [Godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-immutable-radix).

|

|
Example
|
||
|
=======
|
||
|
|
||
|
Below is a simple example of usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
// Create a tree
|
||
|
r := iradix.New()
|
||
|
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("foo"), 1)
|
||
|
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("bar"), 2)
|
||
|
r, _, _ = r.Insert([]byte("foobar"), 2)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Find the longest prefix match
|
||
|
m, _, _ := r.Root().LongestPrefix([]byte("foozip"))
|
||
|
if string(m) != "foo" {
|
||
|
panic("should be foo")
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
