Golang Set
This project is a set theory library for Go that provides a data structure for storing unique elements of any comparable type using generics. It serves as a tool for managing unique collections and performing mathematical operations such as intersections and differences.
The library provides synchronized collections to prevent data races during concurrent read and write operations. It also supports converting unique collections to and from JSON arrays for data persistence and network transmission.
The implementation covers membership testing, collection cloning, and size calculation. It includes utilities for verifying set equality and exporting unique collections into sorted lists. Additional capabilities include channel-based iteration for sequential processing of items.
Features
- Go Generic Collections - Provides a specialized generic set implementation for Go to manage unique collections of any comparable type.
- Unordered Unique Collection Management - Provides a generic data structure to store unordered groups of comparable elements while automatically preventing duplicates.
- Map-Based Set Implementations - Uses a Go map with empty structs to ensure uniqueness and constant-time membership lookups.
- Membership Testing - Includes utilities to verify if a single element or a group of elements exists within the collection.
- Set Comparison Utilities - Enables verifying if two collections contain the exact same set of elements regardless of order.
- Mutexes and Locks - Implements mutual exclusion locks to synchronize concurrent read and write operations and prevent data races.
- Generic Type Constraints - Employs Go generics with comparable constraints to ensure the set handles any valid key type safely.
- Set Operations - Implements mathematical set operations such as intersections and differences to filter or compare groups.
- Set Theory Algorithms - Implements mathematical set operations including intersections and differences on collections of unique data.
- Generic Data Structures - Implements a type-safe, generic set in Go to handle diverse element types without boilerplate code.
- Thread-Safe Collection Operations - Synchronizes concurrent read and write operations across multiple threads using locks to prevent data races.
- Concurrent Collections - Provides synchronized collections that prevent data races during concurrent read and write operations.
- JSON Serializers - Converts unique collections of elements to and from JSON arrays for persistent storage or network transmission.
- JSON Serialization Libraries - Supports converting unique collections into JSON arrays and restoring them for persistence or transmission.
- Set to Slice Exports - Converts unique collections into sorted slices to provide a predictable iteration sequence.
- Set-to-JSON Converters - Supports converting unique collections to and from JSON arrays for data persistence and network transmission.
- Shared Data Synchronization - Manages shared sets of unique elements across multiple threads using mutexes to prevent memory corruption.
- Sorted Element Exports - Converts unique collections into sorted lists, ensuring a predictable sequence and handling floating-point edge cases.
- Interface-Implementation Separation - Separates thread-safe and non-thread-safe behaviors through a shared interface to allow flexible concurrency models.
- Data Structures - High-performance set implementation with thread-safe options.
- Data Structures - Set collection implementation.
