Write custom collections in Swift with a strong focus on performance.
In this book, we show how to write very efficient Swift collection code. Throughout the book, we benchmark everything — with some surprising results. We implement custom data structures with value semantics and copy-on-write behavior such as sorted arrays, binary trees, red-black trees, and B-trees.
Even if you never implement your own collections, this book helps you reason about the performance of Swift code.
What's In The BookSwift Collections - Learn how Swift’s built-in collections perform
Performance - Use benchmarking to measure performance in the real world
Copy-On-Write - Implement high-performance value types using copy-on-write
Wrapping Built-In Datatypes - Wrap NSOrderedSet to give it value semantics and copy-on-write performance
Red-Black Trees - Build red-black search trees using algebraic datatypes
B-Trees - Implement the data structure behind many file systems and databases
