Crate indexmap

IndexMap is a hash table where the iteration order of the key-value pairs is independent of the hash values of the keys.

IndexSet is a corresponding hash set using the same implementation and with similar properties.

Highlights

IndexMap and IndexSet are drop-in compatible with the std HashMap and HashSet, but they also have some features of note:

• The ordering semantics (see their documentation for details)
• Sorting methods and the .pop() methods.
• The Equivalent trait, which offers more flexible equality definitions between borrowed and owned versions of keys.
• The MutableKeys trait, which gives opt-in mutable access to map keys, and MutableValues for sets.

Feature Flags

To reduce the amount of compiled code in the crate by default, certain features are gated behind feature flags. These allow you to opt in to (or out of) functionality. Below is a list of the features available in this crate.

• std: Enables features which require the Rust standard library. For more information see the section on no_std.
• rayon: Enables parallel iteration and other parallel methods.
• serde: Adds implementations for Serialize and Deserialize to IndexMap and IndexSet. Alternative implementations for (de)serializing IndexMap as an ordered sequence are available in the map::serde_seq module.
• borsh: Adds implementations for BorshSerialize and BorshDeserialize to IndexMap and IndexSet. Note: When this feature is enabled, you cannot enable the derive feature of borsh due to a cyclic dependency. Instead, add the borsh-derive crate as an explicit dependency in your Cargo.toml and import as e.g. use borsh_derive::{BorshSerialize, BorshDeserialize};.
• arbitrary: Adds implementations for the arbitrary::Arbitrary trait to IndexMap and IndexSet.
• quickcheck: Adds implementations for the quickcheck::Arbitrary trait to IndexMap and IndexSet.

Note: only the std feature is enabled by default.

Alternate Hashers

IndexMap and IndexSet have a default hasher type S = RandomState, just like the standard HashMap and HashSet, which is resistant to HashDoS attacks but not the most performant. Type aliases can make it easier to use alternate hashers:

use fnv::FnvBuildHasher;
use indexmap::{IndexMap, IndexSet};

type FnvIndexMap<K, V> = IndexMap<K, V, FnvBuildHasher>;
type FnvIndexSet<T> = IndexSet<T, FnvBuildHasher>;

let std: IndexSet<i32> = (0..100).collect();
let fnv: FnvIndexSet<i32> = (0..100).collect();
assert_eq!(std, fnv);

Rust Version

This version of indexmap requires Rust 1.63 or later.

The indexmap 2.x release series will use a carefully considered version upgrade policy, where in a later 2.x version, we will raise the minimum required Rust version.

No Standard Library Targets

This crate supports being built without std, requiring alloc instead. This is chosen by disabling the default “std” cargo feature, by adding default-features = false to your dependency specification.

• Creating maps and sets using new and with_capacity is unavailable without std. Use methods IndexMap::default, with_hasher, with_capacity_and_hasher instead. A no-std compatible hasher will be needed as well, for example from the crate twox-hash.
• Macros indexmap! and indexset! are unavailable without std. Use the macros indexmap_with_default! and indexset_with_default! instead.
