Quickselect

quickselect is a highly optimized, tiny JavaScript library implementing the Floyd-Rivest selection algorithm. It efficiently partially sorts an array in-place, ensuring that elements up to a specified index `k` are the smallest in the given range. The current stable version is 3.0.0, which was a significant update dropping CommonJS and UMD builds, making it exclusively ESM and requiring modern ES syntax. Releases appear to be infrequent, driven by significant architectural changes or feature additions. Its primary differentiator is its minimal footprint and speed for selection tasks compared to full sorting algorithms, making it ideal for scenarios where only a subset of sorted elements is needed.
