# `rhh` (Robin Hood Hashmap)
[![GoDoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/api-reference-blue.svg?style=flat-square)](https://godoc.org/github.com/tidwall/rhh)
A simple and efficient hashmap package for Go using the
[`xxhash`](http://www.xxhash.com) algorithm,
[open addressing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Open_addressing), and
[robin hood hashing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing).
This is an alternative to the standard [Go map](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Map_types).
# Getting Started
## Installing
To start using `rhh`, install Go and run `go get`:
```sh
$ go get -u github.com/tidwall/rhh
```
This will retrieve the library.
## Usage
The `Map` type works similar to a standard Go map, and includes four methods:
`Set`, `Get`, `Delete`, `Len`.
```go
var m rhh.Map
m.Set("Hello", "Dolly!")
val, _ := m.Get("Hello")
fmt.Printf("%v\n", val)
val, _ = m.Delete("Hello")
fmt.Printf("%v\n", val)
val, _ = m.Get("Hello")
fmt.Printf("%v\n", val)
// Output:
// Dolly!
// Dolly!
// <nil>
```
