Ramstack.Structures is a .NET library providing various data structures and utilities.
To install the Ramstack.Structures NuGet package to your project, use the following command:
dotnet add package Ramstack.StructuresThe current release includes primary types:
Ramstack.Text.StringView:
Represents a read-only view of a string, providing safe and efficient access to a subset of its characters.Ramstack.Collections.ArrayView<T>:
A generic read-only view of an array, allowing safe and efficient access to a subset of its elements.Ramstack.Collections.ReadOnlyArray<T>:
A generic read-only array wrapper, similar toImmutableArray<T>, but with some performance improvements and better code generation in certain cases.
Additionally, the library provides the StringViewComparer class, which offers various comparators accessible through corresponding properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Ordinal | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs a case-sensitive ordinal string comparison. |
| OrdinalIgnoreCase | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs a case-insensitive ordinal string comparison. |
| CurrentCulture | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs case-sensitive string comparisons using the word comparison rules of the current culture. |
| CurrentCultureIgnoreCase | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs case-insensitive string comparisons using the word comparison rules of the current culture. |
| InvariantCulture | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs a case-sensitive string comparison using the word comparison rules of the invariant culture. |
| InvariantCultureIgnoreCase | Gets a StringViewComparer object that performs a case-insensitive string comparison using the word comparison rules of the invariant culture. |
The ArrayView<T> and ReadOnlyArray<T> types have a ref readonly indexer, which provides efficient access to elements of the underlying array,
avoiding expensive copying in the case of large structures.
This same optimization is also applied to the enumerators of these types. The Current property has a ref readonly signature,
which enables the following pattern when necessary:
foreach (ref readonly HeavyStruct s in view)
{
...
