``std::vector`` and the like. Instead, use Godot's datatypes as described below:
- Use ``String`` instead of ``std::string``.
- Use ``Vector`` instead of ``std::vector``. In some cases, ``List`` or
``LocalVector`` can be used as an alternative (ask core developers first).
- Use ``Vector`` instead of ``std::vector``. In some cases, ``LocalVector``
can be used as an alternative (ask core developers first).
- Use ``Array`` instead of ``std::array``.
.. note::
Godot also has a List datatype (which is a linked list). While List is already used
in the codebase, it typically performs worse than other datatypes like Vector
and Array. Therefore, List should be avoided in new code unless necessary.
