Side-by-Side Facts
| Metric | aroscoe/emacs-starter-kit ↗ | elorest/acts_as_better_tree ↗ |
|---|---|---|
| Description | All the code you need to get started, with an emphasis on dynamic languages. | An alternative to nested_sets and acts_as_tree. Designed to be a drop in replacement for acts_as_tree. Replaces betternestedset without the slow inserts when dealing with a large dataset. Used by upillar.com on a dataset of over 900,000 categories with no slow downs. In tests it shows a 285% speed increase on inserts with a dataset of 100k categories. As datasets become larger its insert speed stays about the same when nested_sets become slower. In all of my tests read speeds have been comparable with nested sets on everything but all_children which takes is inperceptibly slower on a dataset of 100k than betternestedset. |
