btreejs

Features

• Supports variable orders
• Implemented in plain JavaScript
• Compiled with ClosureCompiler.js using advanced optimizations
• Zero vebose warnings and errors, 100% typed code
• Zero dependencies
• Type checking reduced to the absolute minimum (everything else is left to you)
• Exposes only the bare minimum to the outside world

Example

npm install btreejs

var btree = require("btreejs");
var Tree = btree.create(2, btree.numcmp);
var tree = new Tree();
tree.put(0, "null");
tree.put(1, "one");
tree.put(2, "two");
tree.del(1);
tree.get(2); // == "two"
...

Usage

btree.create([order: number[, compare: function]]):Tree

Creates and returns a Tree class of the specified order with the specified comparator.

Parameter	Function
order	Order of the Tree-class to build as a number. Defaults to 2.
compare	function(a: *, b: *):number returning -1 if a<b, 1 if a>b and 0 otherwise. Defaults to btree.numcmp

btree.numcmp

Numeric comparator.

btree.strcmp

Strict string comparator that compares strings character by character.

new Tree()

Constructs a Tree instance of the order specified to btree.create previously.

Tree#put(key:, value:[, overwrite:boolean=true]):boolean

Puts a non-undefined, non-null key with the given non-undefined value into the tree. You have to type check keys on your own.

Tree#get(key:):|undefined

Gets the value of the specified key. Returns undefined if the key does not exist. There is no Tree#exists method or similar because it just would encourage multiple lookups if one is already sufficient. So the correct usage is:

var value = tree.get(myKey);
if (typeof value == 'undefined') {
    // Key does not exist
} else {
    // Key exists, value may be null
}

Tree#del(key:*):boolean

Deletes a key from the tree. Returns true on success or false if there is no such key.

Tree#walk[Asc]([minKey: *[, maxKey: *]], callback: function):undefined

Walks the range [minKey, ..., maxKey] in ascending order by calling the callback for every key/value pair found.

Parameter	Function
minKey	Minimum key or null to start at the beginning
maxKey	Maximum key or null to walk till the end
callback	function(key:, value:):undefined|boolean

To break the loop, let callback explicitly return true.

Tree#walkDesc([minKey: *[, maxKey: *]], callback: function):undefined

Walks the range [minKey, ..., maxKey] in descending order by calling the callback for every key/value pair found.

Tree#count([minKey: *[, maxKey: *]])

Counts the number of keys in the range [minKey, ..., maxKey]. See Tree#walk.

Note: Tree#put, Tree#get and Tree#del throw an Error only if the key is undefined or null or the value is undefined. Other methods do not throw.

Benchmark

The test suite contains a 100k benchmark:

Ran in node v0.10.5 on one core of an 3.40Ghz Intel Core i7-2600K working with premium DDR3 ram (I'm too lazy to look up the exact model). To test on your own hardware, simply run npm [-g] install testjs && npm test.

testjs itself is an optimized wrapper around node's native assert module.

Optimizer

Also includes a cluster-based (runs in a dedicated worker) optimizer in tests/optimize.js that takes ranges of orders to calculate the optimal order for a specific tree size:

The times parameter specifies how many benchmarks for each order shall be run to eliminate random peeks and is responsible for how long a test takes. Results may vary depending on the actual hardware configuration used. Beware: The default settings that have been used to find btree's default order of 52 (orders 0 to 200, 100k items, 20 times) will take a while to process.
