Description
Forest is intended to be a replacement for the Tree::Simple family of modules, and fixes many of the
issues that have always bothered me about them. It is by no means a complete replacement yet, but should
eventually grow to become that.
For more information please refer to the individual module documentation, starting with Forest::Tree.
Name
Forest - A collection of n-ary tree related modules
See Also
Tree::Simple
I wrote this module a few years ago and I had served me well, but recently I find myself getting
frustrated with some of the uglier bits of this module. So Forest is a re-write of this module.
Tree
This is an ambitious project to replace all the Tree related modules with a single core
implementation. There is some good code in here, but the project seems to be very much on the back-
burner at this time.
OCaml port of Forest
Ask me about the OCaml port of this module, it is also sitting on my hard drive waiting for release.
It actually helped quite a bit in terms of helping me settle on the APIs for this module. Static
typing can be very helpful sometimes.
Todo
More documentation
This is 0.10 so it is (still) lacking quite a bit of docs (I am being really lazy sorry). Although I
invite people to read the source, it is quite simple really.
More tests
The coverage is in the low 90s, but there is still a lot of behavioral stuff that could use some
testing too.
