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

## [Change log](CHANGELOG.md)
## Features
- Drop-in replacement for the standard library `HashMap` and `HashSet` types.
- Uses [AHash](https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash) as the default hasher, which is much faster than SipHash.
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.
- Around 2x faster than the previous standard library `HashMap`.
- Lower memory usage: only 1 byte of overhead per entry instead of 8.
- Compatible with `#[no_std]` (but requires a global allocator with the `alloc` crate).
- Empty hash maps do not allocate any memory.
- SIMD lookups to scan multiple hash entries in parallel.
## Performance
Compared to the previous implementation of `std::collections::HashMap` (Rust 1.35).

## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
hashbrown = "0.14"
```
Then:
```rust
use hashbrown::HashMap;
let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert(1, "one");
```
## Flags
This crate has the following Cargo features:
- `nightly`: Enables nightly-only features including: `#[may_dangle]`.
- `serde`: Enables serde serialization support.
- `rkyv`: Enables rkyv serialization support.
