Hash trie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer science, hash trie refers to two kinds of data structure:

  • A space-efficient implementation of a sparse trie, in which the descendants of each node may be interleaved in memory. (The name is suggested by a similarity to a closed hash table.) [1]
  • An ordinary trie used to store hash values, for example, in an implementation of a hash tree.
