libgee-0.8-dev is:

libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and classes for commonly used data structures.

  • Traversable
    • Iterable
      • Collection

        List

        • BidirList

        Set

        • SortedSet
          • BidirSortedSet

        MultiSet

        • Deque
      • Map

        SortedMap

        • BidirSortedMap
    • Iterator
      • BidirIterator

        BidirListIterator

      • ListIterator

        BidirListIterator

  • MultiMap
  • Future

The ArrayList, ArrauQueue, ConcurrentLinkedList, ConcurrentSet, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList, PriorityQueue, Promise, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces. In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease the implementation of new collections.

Around that, the API provides means to retrieve read-only views, efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable iterators depending on the collection type.

libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C library. It’s planned to provide bindings for further languages.
