Commons Collections 3 is in maintenance mode. Commons Collections 4 should be used instead.

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

This list implementation utilises 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 sligtly more memory.

Since:

Commons Collections 3.1
