`MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` provides a `SparseArray` type that efficiently stores and manipulates multidimensional arrays with a high proportion of zero elements. Unlike dense arrays, `SparseArray` only stores non-zero values, significantly reducing memory consumption for sparse data.

## Comparison with `SparseArrays.jl`
12

13
-
`MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` is designed to provide a flexible and easy-to-use interface for N-dimensional sparse arrays. While Julia's standard library [`SparseArrays.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaSparse/SparseArrays.jl) is highly optimized for 1-D and 2-D sparse arrays (vectors and matrices), `MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` offers a more general-purpose solution for higher-dimensional sparse data.

-**Dimensionality:**`SparseArrays.jl` focuses on `SparseVector` and `SparseMatrixCSC`. `MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` is built from the ground up for N-dimensional arrays.

-
-**Storage Format:**`MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` uses a dictionary-based storage (`Dict{CartesianIndex{N}, T}`), which is flexible for arbitrary dimensions. `SparseArrays.jl` uses the more rigid but highly efficient Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format for matrices.

-**Use Case:** If you are working with 1-D or 2-D sparse arrays and require high-performance linear algebra operations, `SparseArrays.jl` is the ideal choice. If you need to work with sparse data in three or more dimensions, `MultidimensionalSparseArrays.jl` provides a more natural and convenient API.
