In computer science, ahash tree (orhashtrie) is apersistent data structure that can be used to implementsets andmaps, intended to replacehash tables inpurely functional programming. In its basic form, a hash tree stores thehashes of its keys, regarded as strings of bits, in a trie, with the actual keys and (optional) values stored at the trie's "final" nodes.[1]
Hash array mapped tries andCtries are refined versions of this data structure, using particular type of trie implementations.[1]
