RadixTree ⚡
This project provides an implementation of RadixTree data-structure, which is a great tool for indexing a large number of records with string keys and performing a prefix search with an optimal time complexity.

Main Characteristics
- Space and time efficient.
- Retrieves elements sorted, when elements insertion is sorted.
Complexity Order
RadixTree or compressed trie is the compact and space-optimized form of prefix tree, which enables us to find all nodes whose keys start with a prefix string, by a O(L + V) complexity order, where L is the length of input prefix, and V stands for number of nodes that will be discovered.
In case of large datasets, the length of keys are dramatically lower than number of items, which means that the time complexity of prefix search using RadixTree is significantly better than linear search.
Download
RadixTree is available on MavenCentral to download using build tools systems.
