<para>
SPL provides a set of standard datastructures. They are grouped here by their
underlying implementation which usually defines their general field of
application.
</para>
<section>
<title>Doubly Linked Lists</title>
<para>
A Doubly Linked List (DLL) is a list of nodes linked in both directions to
each others. Iterator's operations, access to both ends, addition or
removal of nodes have a cost of O(1) when the underlying structure is a DLL.
It hence provides a decent implementation for stacks and queues.

<section>
<title>Heaps</title>
<para>
Heaps are tree-like structures that follow the heap-property: each node
is greater than or equal to its children, when compared using the
implemented compare method which is global to the heap.

<section>
<title>Arrays</title>
<para>
Arrays are structures that store the data in a continuous way, accessible
via indexes. Don't confuse them with PHP arrays: PHP arrays are in fact
implemented as ordered hashtables.

</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section>
<title>Map</title>
<para>
A map is a datastructure holding key-value pairs. PHP arrays can be seen as maps from integers/strings to values. SPL provides a map from objects to data. This map can also be used as an object set.
