SwissDict

SwissDict provides a standard dictionary, conforming to the AbstractDict protocol, which is inspired from SwissTable developed by Google. This provides improved performance over Dict at extremely high Load Factor.

The interface of SwissDict replicates that of Dict.

Examples:

julia> d = SwissDict(1 => 'a', 2 => 'b')
SwissDict{Int64,Char} with 2 entries:
  1 => 'a'
  2 => 'b'

julia> d[3] = 'c';

julia> collect(d)
3-element Array{Pair{Int64,Char},1}:
 1 => 'a'
 2 => 'b'
 3 => 'c'

julia> delete!(d, 2);

julia> d[1]
'a': ASCII/Unicode U+0061 (category Ll: Letter, lowercase)

julia> d
SwissDict{Int64,Char} with 2 entries:
  1 => 'a'
  3 => 'c'

julia> pop!(d)
1 => 'a'
