|
|
|
codebase has grown as more and more classes and functionalities were added.<br/>
|
|
|
Here is a brief, yet incomplete list of what it offers today:
|
|
|
|
|
|
+* Support for user implementations of the **Standard Template Library**.
|
|
|
* Built-in **RTTI system** mostly similar to the standard one.
|
|
|
-* A `constexpr` utility for human-readable **resource names**.
|
|
|
-* Minimal **configuration system** built using the monostate pattern.
|
|
|
* Incredibly fast **entity-component system** with its own _pay for what you
|
|
|
use_ policy, unconstrained component types with optional pointer stability and
|
|
|
hooks for storage customization.
|
|
|
-* Views and groups to iterate entities and components and allow different access
|
|
|
- patterns, from **perfect SoA** to fully random.
|
|
|
-* A lot of **facilities** built on top of the entity-component system to help
|
|
|
- the users and avoid reinventing the wheel.
|
|
|
* General purpose **execution graph builder** for optimal scheduling.
|
|
|
-* The smallest and most basic implementation of a **service locator** ever seen.
|
|
|
* A built-in, non-intrusive and macro-free runtime **reflection system**.
|
|
|
* **Static polymorphism** made simple and within everyone's reach.
|
|
|
* A few homemade containers, like a sparse set based **hash map**.
|
|
|
-* A **cooperative scheduler** for processes of any type.
|
|
|
* All that is needed for **resource management** (cache, loaders, handles).
|
|
|
* Delegates, **signal handlers** and a tiny event dispatcher.
|
|
|
-* A general purpose **event emitter** as a CRTP idiom based class template.
|
|
|
* And **much more**! Check out the
|
|
|
[**wiki**](https://github.com/skypjack/entt/wiki).

One thing known to most is that `EnTT` is also used in **Minecraft**.<br/>
|
|
|
Given that the game is available literally everywhere, I can confidently say
|
|
|
that the library has been sufficiently tested on every platform that can come to

|
|
|
_competitors_, lower memory usage in the average case, a really good API and an
|
|

amazing set of features. And even more, of course.
