Hilbert Curve

Nice Pick

Developers should learn about the Hilbert curve when working on spatial indexing, data clustering, or algorithms that require efficient mapping between linear and multi-dimensional data, such as in databases (e

Pros

  • +g
  • +Related to: fractal-geometry, spatial-indexing

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Morton Curve

Developers should learn about the Morton Curve when working on applications that require efficient spatial queries, such as geographic information systems (GIS), computer graphics (e

Pros

  • +g
  • +Related to: spatial-indexing, quadtree

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Hilbert Curve if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Morton Curve if: You prioritize g over what Hilbert Curve offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
Hilbert Curve wins

Developers should learn about the Hilbert curve when working on spatial indexing, data clustering, or algorithms that require efficient mapping between linear and multi-dimensional data, such as in databases (e
