## Description

This project is a comprehensive container framework for Go that provides a suite of fundamental data structures and algorithms. It offers a standardized set of tools for managing, sorting, and traversing complex data collections, enabling developers to implement efficient storage and retrieval logic within their applications.

The library distinguishes itself through an interface-driven design that allows for interchangeable use of different storage implementations. It supports custom ordering and sorting behavior through external comparison functions, which decouple the data structures from specific arrangement rules. This flexibility is complemented by stateful iterators that provide sequential access to elements without exposing the underlying storage details.

The framework covers a broad range of data management capabilities, including the implementation of lists, stacks, queues, trees, and hash maps. It supports hierarchical data modeling through self-balancing trees, efficient key-value mapping, and the maintenance of unique element sets. Additionally, the library includes utilities for dynamic array resizing and data serialization to facilitate persistent storage and reliable data exchange.
