9This crate is a Rust port of Google's high-performance [SwissTable] hash
10map, adapted to make it a drop-in replacement for Rust's standard `HashMap`
11and `HashSet` types.
12
13The original C++ version of SwissTable can be found [here], and this
14[CppCon talk] gives an overview of how the algorithm works.
15
16Since Rust 1.36, this is now the `HashMap` implementation for the Rust standard
17library. However you may still want to use this crate instead since it works
18in environments without `std`, such as embedded systems and kernels.

26## Features
27
28- Drop-in replacement for the standard library `HashMap` and `HashSet` types.
29- Uses [AHash](https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash) as the default hasher, which is much faster than SipHash.
30 However, AHash does *not provide the same level of HashDoS resistance* as SipHash, so if that is important to you, you might want to consider using a different hasher.
31- Around 2x faster than the previous standard library `HashMap`.
32- Lower memory usage: only 1 byte of overhead per entry instead of 8.
33- Compatible with `#[no_std]` (but requires a global allocator with the `alloc` crate).
34- Empty hash maps do not allocate any memory.
35- SIMD lookups to scan multiple hash entries in parallel.
36
37## Performance
38
39Compared to the previous implementation of `std::collections::HashMap` (Rust 1.35).

82## Usage
83
84Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
85
86```toml
87[dependencies]
88hashbrown = "0.11"
89```
90
91Then:
92
93```rust
94use hashbrown::HashMap;
95
96let mut map = HashMap::new();
97map.insert(1, "one");
98```
99## Flags
100This crate has the following Cargo features:
101
102- `nightly`: Enables nightly-only features including: `#[may_dangle]`.
103- `serde`: Enables serde serialization support.
104- `rayon`: Enables rayon parallel iterator support.
105- `raw`: Enables access to the experimental and unsafe `RawTable` API.
106- `inline-more`: Adds inline hints to most functions, improving run-time performance at the cost
107 of compilation time. (enabled by default)
108- `bumpalo`: Provides a `BumpWrapper` type which allows `bumpalo` to be used for memory allocation.
109- `ahash`: Compiles with ahash as default hasher. (enabled by default)
110- `ahash-compile-time-rng`: Activates the `compile-time-rng` feature of ahash. For targets with no random number generator
111this pre-generates seeds at compile time and embeds them as constants. See [aHash's documentation](https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash#flags) (disabled by default)
