Judy 2.0.0

PHP Judy implements sparse dynamic arrays (aka Judy Arrays)


PHP Judy implements sparse dynamic arrays (aka Judy Arrays). This extension is based
on the Judy C library. A Judy array consumes memory only when it is populated,
yet can grow to take advantage of all available memory if desired. Judy's key benefits
are scalability, high performance, and memory efficiency.
