Immutable Map, compatible with JAX & Equinox

xmmutablemap

Jax-compatible Immutable Map

JAX prefers immutable objects but neither Python nor JAX provide an immutable dictionary. 😢
This repository defines a light-weight immutable map (lower-level than a dict) that JAX understands as a PyTree. 🎉 🕶️

Installation

pip install xmmutablemap

Documentation

xmutablemap provides the class ImmutableMap, which is a full implementation of Python's Mapping ABC. If you've used a dict then you already know how to use ImmutableMap! The things ImmutableMap adds is 1) immutability (and related benefits like hashability) and 2) compatibility with JAX.

from xmmutablemap import ImmutableMap

print(ImmutableMap(a=1, b=2, c=3))
# ImmutableMap({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3})

print(ImmutableMap({"a": 1, "b": 2.0, "c": "3"}))
# ImmutableMap({'a': 1, 'b': 2.0, 'c': '3'})
