Package com.tomgibara.crinch.hashing Description

Hashing utilities and interfaces for generating and managing hash values.

This package provides:

• Hash - Interface for generating hash values from objects
• HashRange - Class defining a range of possible hash values
• PerfectStringHash - Minimal perfect hash implementation for String arrays

The hashing utilities support both general-purpose hashing through the Hash interface and specialized perfect hashing for known string sets through PerfectStringHash. HashRange provides bounds checking and range validation for hash values.
