@ohos.util.List (Linear Container List)

List is implemented based on the singly linked list. Each node has a reference pointing to the next element. When querying an element, the system traverses the list from the beginning. List offers efficient insertion and removal operations but supports low query efficiency. List allows null elements.

Unlike LinkedList, which is a doubly linked list, List is a singly linked list that does not support insertion or removal at both ends.

Recommended use case: Use List for frequent insertion and removal operations.

This topic uses the following to identify the use of generics: - T: Type
