Trove for Java Trove is a high-performance collections library for Java that provides primitive collections (like TIntArrayList, THashMap, etc.) as alternatives to Java's standard collections that use object wrappers (like ArrayList or HashMap). Key Features Primitive Collections: Stores primitives directly without boxing/unboxing Reduced Memory Usage: More efficient memory utilization Better Performance: Faster operations compared to standard collections Additional Collection Types: Provides collections not available in Java's standard library Common Trove Classes Lists TIntArrayList - int list TLongArrayList - long list TDoubleArrayList - double list Sets TIntHashSet - int set TLongHashSet - long set THashSet - object set (faster than Java's HashSet) Maps TIntIntHashMap - int-to-int map TIntObjectHashMap - int-to-object map TObjectIntHashMap - object-to-int map THashMap - object-to-object map (faster than Java's HashMap) Example Usage Benefits Over Standard Collections No Autoboxing: Avoids the overhead of converting between primitives and objects Less Memory: Primitive collections use significantly less memory Better Cache Locality: Primitive arrays have better cache performance Adding Trove to Your Project Maven: Gradle: Trove is particularly useful in performance-critical applications that work heavily with primitive data types, such as scientific computing, financial applications, or game development.
