## About
n-D spatial indexing data structures with a shared ES6 Map/Set-like API.
Some implementations were ported from the Clojure version of
[thi.ng/geom](http://thi.ng/geom-clj).
Currently available:
- [HashGrid2/3](src/hash-grid.ts)
- [KdTreeMap](src/kd-tree-map.ts)
- [KdTreeSet](src/kd-tree-set.ts)
- [NdQuadtreeMap](src/nd-quadtree-map.ts)
- [NdQuadtreeSet](src/nd-quadtree-set.ts)
- [SpatialGrid2](src/spatial-grid2.ts)
- [SpatialGrid3](src/spatial-grid3.ts)
