This crate is a Rust port of Google's high-performance SwissTable hash
map, adapted to make it a drop-in replacement for Rust's standard HashMap
and HashSet
types.
The original C++ version of SwissTable can be found here, and this CppCon talk gives an overview of how the algorithm works.
Since Rust 1.36, this is now the HashMap
implementation for the Rust standard
library. All benchmarks and features below are compared to the previous hash
table implementation in the Rust standard library.
- Drop-in replacement for the standard library
HashMap
andHashSet
types. - Uses
AHash
as the default hasher, which is much faster than SipHash. - Around 2x faster than the previous standard library
HashMap
. - Lower memory usage: only 1 byte of overhead per entry instead of 8.
- Compatible with
#[no_std]
(but requires a global allocator with thealloc
crate). - Empty hash maps do not allocate any memory.
- SIMD lookups to scan multiple hash entries in parallel.
Compared to the previous implementation of std::collections::HashMap
(Rust 1.35).

:
[dependencies]
hashbrown = "0.5"
Then:
use hashbrown::HashMap;
let mut map = HashMap::new();
map.insert(1, "one");
