# DEPRECATED

Now the performance is no better than a `map` or `sync.Map` except that the extra memory allocations are better. So without better performance, maybe `map` or `sync.Map` are good built-in alternatives

Because of that, I decided to archive this library and end support.

Thanks so much 😉!

Memory store like `map[string]interface{}` without extra memory allocations.

## Example:

```go
d := dictpool.AcquireDict()
// d.BinarySearch = true  // Useful on big heaps

key := "foo"

d.Set(key, "Hello DictPool")

if d.Has(key){
    fmt.Println(d.Get(key))  // Output: Hello DictPool
}

d.Del(key)

dictpool.ReleaseDict(d)
```
