libgee - GObject collection library

Introduction

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

libgee provides the following interfaces:

• Iterable
  • Collection
    • List
    • Set
• Iterator
• Map

The ArrayList, HashSet, and HashMap classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of the List, Set, and Map interfaces. ReadOnlyCollection, ReadOnlyList, ReadOnlySet, and ReadOnlyMap are read-only wrapper classes that prevent modification of the underlying collection.

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