keywords: Data Structure
library name: collections
A Collections API which defines a common naming scheme and set of operations for creating, accessing, and manipulating common datastructures in Scheme. The API defines accessors, a common protocol for value access via generic and specific enumeration, and functions for inter-datastructure cooperation. Finally, a concrete specification of a compliant set of operators for the standard Scheme heterogenous datastructures (lists and vectors) and for the homogeneous Scheme string is provided.
