bmdevel/php-index
=================

This library provides an API to perform binary search operations on a sorted index. The index can be a XML document, a CSV document, or an arbitrary text file where the key has a fixed position. You can easily implement your own index. This API comes handy on any sorted data structure where realtime search operations are necessary without the detour of a DBS import.
