uthash is a header-only C library providing hash table, linked list, and dynamic array implementations via preprocessor macros. It lets C developers add hash-table capabilities to arbitrary structs with minimal boilerplate.

Use cases

  • add a hash table to a C struct
  • implement a dictionary in C without writing my own hash table
  • C header-only hashmap library
  • store key-value pairs in C efficiently
  • linked list and dynamic array macros for C

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, dependency-free hash table in C
  • you want header-only data structures you can drop into any project
  • you need hash tables keyed on arbitrary struct fields

When to avoid

  • you need thread-safe or lock-free hash tables
  • you want a full-featured container library with iterators and allocators
  • you're working in a language other than C
