Overview
The data package provides efficient, lightweight data structures and algorithms for Dart, optimized for both time and space. It offers collections like arrays, sets, and maps with enhanced performance characteristics, along with utility functions for common computational tasks. Designed for mathematical and algorithmic operations, it supports seamless integration across all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Ideal for applications requiring high-performance data handling without the overhead of larger frameworks.
