EASTL is Electronic Arts' C++ Standard Template Library, providing containers, algorithms, and iterators with an emphasis on high performance. It is a mature, extensively used replacement or supplement to the standard STL, suitable for runtime and tool development across many platforms.

Use cases

• replace std containers with faster alternatives in a game engine
• high-performance C++ containers for embedded or console platforms
• STL-compatible containers with better allocator control
• template library for runtime and tool development in C++
• containers and algorithms tuned for shipping game code

When to choose

• you need maximum performance and control over memory allocation in C++
• you target game consoles, embedded systems, or platforms with weak STL implementations
• you want STL-familiar containers with extra features like fixed-size containers

When to avoid

• your project is simple and the standard STL is sufficient
• you need strict standard-library conformance or portability with std interfaces
• you want a small dependency-free codebase
