## What it is
TinySTL is a C++11 reimplementation of a subset of the C++ Standard Template Library, plus extra containers and algorithms not found in the standard library. It is primarily an educational project for practicing data structures, algorithms, and C++ template programming.

## Use cases
- learn how STL containers like vector and list are implemented
- study C++ template metaprogramming with a real codebase
- find reference implementations of data structures like AVL trees, tries, and bloom filters
- practice reading and extending a C++ standard library
- compare custom container performance against std::vector

## When to choose
- you want to learn data structures and algorithms through readable C++ implementations
- you need extra containers like skip lists, tries, or bloom filters as reference code
- you are studying template programming and iterator/allocator design

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, fully tested STL replacement
- you require a maintained library with a license and active releases
- you need portability beyond MSVC/VS2013+ toolchains

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-science, developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, education
- platform: cpp, windows, cross-platform
- tags: stl, c++11, templates, data-structures, containers, learning-project, algorithms
