130 | Boost.Bimap is a bidirectional maps library for C++. With Boost.Bimap you can | |
131 | create associative containers in which both types can be used as key. A <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bimap</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">Y</span><span class="special">></span></code> can be thought of as a combination of a | |
132 | <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">map</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">Y</span><span class="special">></span></code> | |
133 | and a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">map</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">Y</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">X</span><span class="special">></span></code>. | |
134 | The learning curve of bimap is almost flat if you know how to use standard | |
135 | containers. A great deal of effort has been put into mapping the naming scheme | |
136 | of the STL in Boost.Bimap. The library is designed to match the common STL | |
137 | containers. | |

145 | The design of Boost.Bimap interface follows the standard template library. | |
146 | It has been strongly influenced by Joaquin Lopez Muñoz's Boost.MultiIndex | |
147 | library (the heart of bimaps) and codeproject::bimap library. | |
