A sparse array optimised for low memory whilst still being fast
npm install big-sparse-arrayA sparse array optimised for low memory whilst still being fast.
``
npm install big-sparse-array
Uses a shallow tree structure with a branching factor of 4096
to index a series of small arrays that try to compress as much as possible
to reduce the memory overhead needed.
Similar to a Map, except it is faster, but might use a bit more memory, ymmv.
` js
const BigSparseArray = require('big-sparse-array')
const b = new BigSparseArray()
b.set(42422242525, true)
b.get(42422242525) // returns true
b.get(111111111) // returns undefined
`
#### const b = new BigSparseArray()
Make a new sparse array.
#### b.set(index, value)
Insert a new value at an index. index must be a integer.
#### value = b.get(index)
Get a value out. Returns undefined` if the value could not be found.
