Description

An efficient implementation of finite maps from strings to values. The implementation is based on big-endian patricia trees, like Data.IntMap. We first trie on the elements of Data.ByteString and then trie on the big-endian bit representation of those elements. For further details on the latter, see

This module aims to provide an austere interface, while being detailed enough for most users. For an extended interface with many additional functions, see Data.Trie.Convenience. For functions that give more detailed (potentially abstraction-breaking) access to the data strucuture, or for experimental functions which aren't quite ready for the public API, see Data.Trie.Internal.

Synopsis

Data type

data Trie a Source

A map from ByteStrings to a. For all the generic functions, note that tries are strict in the Maybe but not in a.

The Monad instance is strange. If a key k1 is a prefix of other keys, then results from binding the value at k1 will override values from longer keys when they collide. If this is useful for anything, or if there's a more sensible instance, I'd be curious to know.

Instances

Basic functions

empty :: Trie aSource

O(1), Construct the empty trie.

null :: Trie a -> BoolSource

O(1), Is the trie empty?

singleton :: ByteString -> a -> Trie aSource

O(1), Construct a singleton trie.

size :: Trie a -> IntSource

O(n), Get count of elements in trie.

Conversion functions

fromList :: [(ByteString, a)] -> Trie aSource

Convert association list into a trie. On key conflict, values earlier in the list shadow later ones.

toListBy :: (ByteString -> a -> b) -> Trie a -> [b]Source

Convert a trie into a list using a function. Resulting values are in key-sorted order.

toList :: Trie a -> [(ByteString, a)]Source

Convert trie into association list. Keys will be in sorted order.

keys :: Trie a -> [ByteString]Source

Return all keys in the trie, in sorted order.

elems :: Trie a -> [a]Source

Return all values in the trie, in sorted order according to the keys.

Query functions

lookupBy :: (Maybe a -> Trie a -> b) -> ByteString -> Trie a -> bSource

Generic function to find a value (if it exists) and the subtrie rooted at the prefix.

lookup :: ByteString -> Trie a -> Maybe aSource

Return the value associated with a query string if it exists.

member :: ByteString -> Trie a -> BoolSource

Does a string have a value in the trie?

submap :: ByteString -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Return the subtrie containing all keys beginning with a prefix.

Single-value modification

alterBy :: (ByteString -> a -> Maybe a -> Maybe a) -> ByteString -> a -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Generic function to alter a trie by one element with a function to resolve conflicts (or non-conflicts).

insert :: ByteString -> a -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Insert a new key. If the key is already present, overrides the old value

adjust :: (a -> a) -> ByteString -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Apply a function to the value at a key.

delete :: ByteString -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Remove the value stored at a key.

Combining tries

mergeBy :: (a -> a -> Maybe a) -> Trie a -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Combine two tries, using a function to resolve collisions. This can only define the space of functions between union and symmetric difference but, with those two, all set operations can be defined (albeit inefficiently).

unionL :: Trie a -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Combine two tries, resolving conflicts by choosing the value from the left trie.

unionR :: Trie a -> Trie a -> Trie aSource

Combine two tries, resolving conflicts by choosing the value from the right trie.

Mapping functions

mapBy :: (ByteString -> a -> Maybe b) -> Trie a -> Trie bSource

Generic version of fmap. This function is notably more expensive than fmap or filterMap because we have to reconstruct the keys.

filterMap :: (a -> Maybe b) -> Trie a -> Trie bSource

Apply a function to all values, potentially removing them.
