public class TreeList<E>
extends java.util.AbstractList<E>

A List implementation that is optimized for fast insertions and removals at any index in the list.

This list implementation utilizes a tree structure internally to ensure that all insertions and removals are O(log n). This provides much faster performance than both an ArrayList and a LinkedList where elements are inserted and removed repeatedly from anywhere in the list.

The following relative performance statistics are indicative of this class:

              get  add  insert  iterate  remove
 TreeList       3    5       1       2       1
 ArrayList      1    1      40       1      40
 LinkedList  5800    1     350       2     325
 

ArrayList is a good general purpose list implementation. It is faster than TreeList for most operations except inserting and removing in the middle of the list. ArrayList also uses less memory as TreeList uses one object per entry.

LinkedList is rarely a good choice of implementation. TreeList is almost always a good replacement for it, although it does use slightly more memory.
