A Ruby library providing common algorithms and data structures such as heaps, red-black trees, tries, suffix arrays, sorting, and searching routines. Optional C extensions deliver significant performance improvements where available.

Use cases

• use a red-black tree or splay tree in Ruby
• sort collections with quicksort or mergesort in Ruby
• implement a priority queue in Ruby
• perform binary search or KMP string search in Ruby
• use heaps, deques, stacks, and queues in Ruby
• benchmark data structure performance in Ruby

When to choose

• you need efficient data structures not in Ruby's standard library
• you want documented guidance on which structure or algorithm to use
• you can use C extensions for performance-critical Ruby code

When to avoid

• you need algorithms in a language other than Ruby
• you only need structures already provided by Ruby's core library
• you need actively developed cutting-edge algorithm implementations
