micromap 0.0.2

At least 5x faster alternative of HashMap, for very small maps. It is also faster than FxHashMap, ArrayMap. The smaller the map, the higher the performance. When the map is larger than 50, it is better to use standard HashMap.

WELCOME: Not all functions that a user expects to have in a map are implemented. I will appreciate if you contribute by implementing these missing functions.

Here is how you use it:

use micromap::Map;
let mut m : Map<u64, &str, 10> = Map::new();
m.insert(1, "foo");
m.insert(2, "bar");
assert_eq!(2, m.len());

Pay attention, here the map is created with an extra generic argument 10. This is the total size of the map, which is allocated on stack when ::new() is called. Unlike HashMap, the Map doesn't use heap at all.

Read the API documentation. Important to notice that signatures of some functions are different from HashMap, for example remove() and insert() expect arguments to be passes by-value instead of by-reference.
