I have a Java program that stores a lot of mappings from Strings to various objects.
Right now, my options are either to rely on hashing (via HashMap) or on binary searches (via TreeMap). I am wondering if there is an efficient and standard trie-based map implementation in a popular and quality collections library?
I've written my own in the past, but I'd rather go with something standard, if available.
Quick clarification: While my question is general, in the current project I am dealing with a lot of data that is indexed by fully-qualified class name or method signature. Thus, there are many shared prefixes.
You might want to look at the Trie implementation that Limewire is contributing to the Google Guava.
There is no trie data structure in the core Java libraries.
This may be because tries are usually designed to store character strings, while Java data structures are more general, usually holding any Object (defining equality and a hash operation), though they are sometimes limited to Comparable objects (defining an order). There's no common abstraction for "a sequence of symbols," although CharSequence is suitable for character strings, and I suppose you could do something with Iterable for other types of symbols.
Here's another point to consider: when trying to implement a conventional trie in Java, you are quickly confronted with the fact that Java supports Unicode. To have any sort of space efficiency, you have to restrict the strings in your trie to some subset of symbols, or abandon the conventional approach of storing child nodes in an array indexed by symbol. This might be another reason why tries are not considered general-purpose enough for inclusion in the core library, and something to watch out for if you implement your own or use a third-party library.
Also check out concurrent-trees. They support both Radix and Suffix trees and are designed for high concurrency environments.
Apache Commons Collections v4.0 now supports trie structures.
See the org.apache.commons.collections4.trie package info for more information. In particular, check the PatriciaTrie class:
Implementation of a PATRICIA Trie (Practical Algorithm to Retrieve Information Coded in Alphanumeric).
A PATRICIA Trie is a compressed Trie. Instead of storing all data at the edges of the Trie (and having empty internal nodes), PATRICIA stores data in every node. This allows for very efficient traversal, insert, delete, predecessor, successor, prefix, range, and select(Object) operations. All operations are performed at worst in O(K) time, where K is the number of bits in the largest item in the tree. In practice, operations actually take O(A(K)) time, where A(K) is the average number of bits of all items in the tree.
I wrote and published a simple and fast implementation here.
Apache's commons collections: org.apache.commons.collections4.trie.PatriciaTrie
What you need is org.apache.commons.collections.FastTreeMap , I think.
You can try the Completely Java library, it features a PatriciaTrie implementation. The API is small and easy to get started, and it's available in the Maven central repository.
You might look at this TopCoder one as well (registration required...).
If you required sorted map, then tries are worthwhile. If you don't then hashmap is better. Hashmap with string keys can be improved over the standard Java implementation: Array hash map
If you're not worried about pulling in the Scala library, you can use this space efficient implementation I wrote of a burst trie.
Below is a basic HashMap implementation of a Trie. Some people might find this useful...
class Trie {
HashMap<Character, HashMap> root;
public Trie() {
root = new HashMap<Character, HashMap>();
}
public void addWord(String word) {
HashMap<Character, HashMap> node = root;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
Character currentLetter = word.charAt(i);
if (node.containsKey(currentLetter) == false) {
node.put(currentLetter, new HashMap<Character, HashMap>());
}
node = node.get(currentLetter);
}
}
public boolean containsPrefix(String word) {
HashMap<Character, HashMap> node = root;
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
Character currentLetter = word.charAt(i);
if (node.containsKey(currentLetter)) {
node = node.get(currentLetter);
} else {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
here is my implementation, enjoy it via: GitHub - MyTrie.java

I have just tried my own Concurrent TRIE implementation but not based on characters, it is based on HashCode. Still We can use this having Map of Map for each CHAR hascode.
You can test this using the code @ https://github.com/skanagavelu/TrieHashMap/blob/master/src/TrieMapPerformanceTest.java
