unordered-array-remove
Efficiently removes an element from an unordered array by swapping with the last element instead of splicing.
What is unordered-array-remove?
unordered-array-remove is a JavaScript library that efficiently removes elements from arrays when the order of elements is not important. It solves the performance problem of using Array.splice(), which shifts all subsequent elements, by swapping the target element with the last one and popping it off in constant time.
JavaScript developers working with large arrays or performance-sensitive applications where unordered array manipulations are common, such as game development or data processing.
It provides a significantly faster alternative to Array.splice() for unordered arrays, with a minimal API and no dependencies, making it ideal for performance-critical code.
