GitHub - wk8/go-ordered-map at v2.1.8

Same as regular maps, but also remembers the order in which keys were inserted, akin to Python's collections.OrderedDicts.

It offers the following features:

The full documentation is available on pkg.go.dev.

go get -u github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map/v2

Or use your favorite golang vendoring tool!

Go >= 1.18 is required to use version >= 2 of this library, as it uses generics.

If you're running go < 1.18, you can use version 1 instead.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map/v2"
)

func main() {
	om := orderedmap.New[string, string]()

	om.Set("foo", "bar")
	om.Set("bar", "baz")
	om.Set("coucou", "toi")

	fmt.Println(om.Get("foo"))          // => "bar", true
	fmt.Println(om.Get("i dont exist")) // => "", false

	// iterating pairs from oldest to newest:
	for pair := om.Oldest(); pair != nil; pair = pair.Next() {
		fmt.Printf("%s => %s\n", pair.Key, pair.Value)
	} // prints:
	// foo => bar
	// bar => baz
	// coucou => toi

	// iterating over the 2 newest pairs:
	i := 0
	for pair := om.Newest(); pair != nil; pair = pair.Prev() {
		fmt.Printf("%s => %s\n", pair.Key, pair.Value)
		i++
		if i >= 2 {
			break
		}
	} // prints:
	// coucou => toi
	// bar => baz
}

An OrderedMap's keys must implement comparable, and its values can be anything, for example:

type myStruct struct {
	payload string
}

func main() {
	om := orderedmap.New[int, *myStruct]()

	om.Set(12, &myStruct{"foo"})
	om.Set(1, &myStruct{"bar"})

	value, present := om.Get(12)
	if !present {
		panic("should be there!")
	}
	fmt.Println(value.payload) // => foo

	for pair := om.Oldest(); pair != nil; pair = pair.Next() {
		fmt.Printf("%d => %s\n", pair.Key, pair.Value.payload)
	} // prints:
	// 12 => foo
	// 1 => bar
}

Also worth noting that you can provision ordered maps with a capacity hint, as you would do by passing an optional hint to make(map[K]V, capacity):

om := orderedmap.New[int, *myStruct](28)

You can also pass in some initial data to store in the map:

om := orderedmap.New[int, string](orderedmap.WithInitialData[int, string](
	orderedmap.Pair[int, string]{
		Key:   12,
		Value: "foo",
	},
	orderedmap.Pair[int, string]{
		Key:   28,
		Value: "bar",
	},
))

OrderedMaps also support JSON serialization/deserialization, and preserves order:

// serialization
data, err := json.Marshal(om)
...

// deserialization
om := orderedmap.New[string, string]() // or orderedmap.New[int, any](), or any type you expect
err := json.Unmarshal(data, &om)
...

Similarly, it also supports YAML serialization/deserialization using the yaml.v3 package, which also preserves order:

// serialization
data, err := yaml.Marshal(om)
...

// deserialization
om := orderedmap.New[string, string]() // or orderedmap.New[int, any](), or any type you expect
err := yaml.Unmarshal(data, &om)
...

There are several other ordered map golang implementations out there, but I believe that at the time of writing none of them offer the same functionality as this library; more specifically:
