Description

TFPCustomHashTable is a general-purpose hashing class. It can store string keys and pointers associated with these strings. The hash mechanism is configurable and can be optionally be specified when a new instance of the class is created; A default hash mechanism is implemented in RSHash.

The TFPHasList can also be used when fast lookup of data based on some key is required. It is slightly faster than the TFPCustomHashTable implementation, but the keys are limited to a length of 256 characters, and it is not suitable for re-use: it is a one-time fill, many times search object. TFPCustomHashTable is slower, but handles re-use better.
