+## About
+
+TypedArray-based sparse set implementations with extended ES Set API.
+
+### SparseSet8/16/32
+
+[Sparse sets](https://research.swtch.com/sparse) provide super fast
+(approx. 4x faster than the native `Set` impl) insertion & lookups for
+numeric values in the interval `[0..n)` . The implementation in this
+package provides most of the ES6 Set API and internally relies on 2 uint
+typed arrays, with the actual backing type dependent on `n`.
+
+Furthermore, unless (or until) values are being removed from the set,
+they retain their original insertion order. For some use cases (e.g.
+deduplication of values), this property can be very useful.
+
+```ts
+import { defSparseSet } from "@thi.ng/sparse-set";
+
+// create sparse set for value range 0 - 99 (uint8 backed)
+const a = defSparseSet(100);
+a.into([99, 42, 66, 23, 66, 42]);
+// SparseSet8 { 99, 42, 66, 23 }
+
+a.has(66)
+// true
+
+// sparse sets are iterable
+[...a]
+// [ 99, 42, 66, 23 ]
+
+// attempting to add out-of-range values will fail
+a.add(100)
+// SparseSet8 { 99, 42, 66, 23 }
+
+// create sparse set for 16 bit value range 0 - 0xffff (uint16 backed)
+const b = defSparseSet(0x10000);
+// SparseSet16 {}
+```

+## About

+{{pkg.description}}
+
+### SparseSet8/16/32
+
+[Sparse sets](https://research.swtch.com/sparse) provide super fast
+(approx. 4x faster than the native `Set` impl) insertion & lookups for
+numeric values in the interval `[0..n)` . The implementation in this
+package provides most of the ES6 Set API and internally relies on 2 uint
+typed arrays, with the actual backing type dependent on `n`.
+
+Furthermore, unless (or until) values are being removed from the set,
+they retain their original insertion order. For some use cases (e.g.
+deduplication of values), this property can be very useful.
+
+```ts
+import { defSparseSet } from "@thi.ng/sparse-set";
+
+// create sparse set for value range 0 - 99 (uint8 backed)
+const a = defSparseSet(100);
+a.into([99, 42, 66, 23, 66, 42]);
+// SparseSet8 { 99, 42, 66, 23 }
+
+a.has(66)
+// true
+
+// sparse sets are iterable
+[...a]
+// [ 99, 42, 66, 23 ]
+
+// attempting to add out-of-range values will fail
+a.add(100)
+// SparseSet8 { 99, 42, 66, 23 }
+
+// create sparse set for 16 bit value range 0 - 0xffff (uint16 backed)
+const b = defSparseSet(0x10000);
+// SparseSet16 {}
+```
