Welcome to the maph (Memory-Mapped Approximate Perfect Hash) documentation!

# 🚀 What is maph?

maph is a high-performance key-value database that provides:

- O(1) lookups with perfect hash functions
- Sub-microsecond latency for read/write operations
- Memory-mapped storage for zero-copy access
- Lock-free operations for concurrent access
- JSON native support
- REST API with web interface

# ⚡ Performance Highlights

Metric | Value | Notes
--- | --- | ---
GET Latency | <100ns | O(1) with perfect hash
SET Latency | <150ns | Lock-free atomic updates
Throughput | 10M ops/sec | Single thread
Batch Throughput | 50M ops/sec | SIMD optimized
Memory Overhead | ~512B/entry | Fixed slot size

# 🎯 Use Cases

maph is ideal for:

- High-frequency trading - Sub-microsecond market data access
- Gaming - Player session storage with instant lookups
- IoT - Device state management at scale
- Caching - L2 cache replacement with persistence
- ML Feature Stores - Real-time feature serving

# 🔧 Quick Example

#include <maph.hpp>
// Create a store with 1M slots
auto store = maph::Maph::create("mystore.maph", 1000000);
// Store JSON data
store->set(R"({"user": "alice"})", R"({"score": 95, "level": 10})");
// O(1) retrieval
auto data = store->get(R"({"user": "alice"})");
maph::Maph::create
static std::unique_ptr< Maph > create(const std::string &path, uint64_t total_slots, uint64_t static_slots=0)
Create a new database file.

# 🛠️ Getting Started

## Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rd_ph_filter.git
cd rd_ph_filter
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

## Basic Usage

// C++ API
auto store = maph::Maph::create("data.maph", 100000);
store->set("key", "value");
auto val = store->get("key");
// CLI Tool
maph_cli create mystore --slots 100000
maph_cli set mystore "key" "value"
maph_cli get mystore "key"
// REST API
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/stores \
-d '{"name": "mystore", "slots": 100000}'
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/stores/mystore/keys/"key" \
-d '"value"'
