roaring

roaring

Official port of Roaring Bitmaps for NodeJS as a native addon.

It is interoperable with other implementations via the Roaring format. It takes advantage of AVX2 or SSE4.2 instructions on 64 bit platforms that supports it.

Roaring bitmaps are compressed bitmaps. They can be hundreds of times faster.

For a precompiled binary of this package compatible with AWS Lambda NodeJS v8.10.0, use roaring-aws.

Branch publish contains the latest published stable version.

Branch master is the development branch that may contain code not yet published or ready for production. If you want to contribute and submit a pull request, use the master branch.

Node 16.14+, 18+, 20+, 21, and 22 are currently supported.

Node 8 and 10 support was dropped in release 2.0

Node 12 and 14 support was dropped in release 2.3

Directly transferring an instance without copy between worker threads is not currently supported, but you can create a frozen view on a SharedArrayBuffer using bufferAlignedAllocShared and pass it to the worker thread.

npm install --save roaring

See the roaring module documentation

See the RoaringBitmap32 class documentation

Code sample:

// npm install --save roaring
// create this file as demo.js
// type node demo.js

const RoaringBitmap32 = require("roaring/RoaringBitmap32");

const bitmap1 = new RoaringBitmap32([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
bitmap1.addMany([100, 1000]);
console.log("bitmap1.toArray():", bitmap1.toArray());

const bitmap2 = new RoaringBitmap32([3, 4, 1000]);
console.log("bitmap2.toArray():", bitmap2.toArray());

const bitmap3 = new RoaringBitmap32();
console.log("bitmap1.size:", bitmap1.size);
console.log("bitmap3.has(3):", bitmap3.has(3));
bitmap3.add(3);
console.log("bitmap3.has(3):", bitmap3.has(3));

bitmap3.add(111);
bitmap3.add(544);
bitmap3.orInPlace(bitmap1);
bitmap1.runOptimize();
bitmap1.shrinkToFit();
console.log("contentToString:", bitmap3.contentToString());

console.log("bitmap3.toArray():", bitmap3.toArray());
console.log("bitmap3.maximum():", bitmap3.maximum());
console.log("bitmap3.rank(100):", bitmap3.rank(100));

const iterated = [];
for (const value of bitmap3) {
iterated.push(value);
}
console.log("iterated:", iterated);

const serialized = bitmap3.serialize(false);
console.log("serialized:", serialized.toString("base64"));
console.log("deserialized:", RoaringBitmap32.deserialize(serialized, false).toArray());
