data-structure-typed: A Modern Data Structures Library for TypeScript
Why I Built data-structure-typed: A Modern Data Structures Library for TypeScript TL;DR: After years of using various data structure libraries in JavaScript/TypeScript, I built one that prioritizes type safety, native API familiarity, and performance. Here's what I learned. The Problem If you've worked on algorithm-heavy TypeScript projects, you've probably faced this dilemma: Native JS only gives you Array , Map , Set , and Object — no trees, no heaps, no graphs Existing libraries often have inconsistent APIs, poor TypeScript support, or expose too many internals I wanted something that felt like a natural extension of JavaScript's built-in collections — with the same API patterns, full type safety, and solid performance. What is data-structure-typed? It's a comprehensive collection of data structures for JavaScript and TypeScript: Binary Trees : BST, AVL Tree, Red-Black Tree, TreeMap, TreeSet Heaps : Min/Max Heap, Priority Queue Graphs : Directed, Undirected (with Dijkstra, Bellman-F
