Libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and 
classes for commonly used data structures.

Libgee provides the following interfaces:

     * Iterable
           o Collection
                 + List
                 + Set
                 + MultiSet
                 + Queue
                       # Deque
     * Iterator
     * Map
     * MultiMap

The ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList, 
PriorityQueue, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap classes 
provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces. In 
addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease the 
implementation of new collections.

Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views, 
efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable 
iterators depending on the collection type.

Libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C 
library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
