Pathio

Crate adding PathTree, a special type immitating UNIX file system for storing any generic type <T>.

=== Description ===

It is created by daisy chaining HashMaps. It splits data into directories, which can store <T> or nest subdirectories.

use pathio::prelude::*;

let mut tree: PathTree<String> = PathTree::new("FileSystem");

tree.create_directory("New_Folder").unwrap();
tree.create_directory("New_Folder/Strings").unwrap();
tree.create_directory("Cool_Folder").unwrap();

tree.insert_file("New_Folder/Strings/text.txt", "Hello World!".to_string()).unwrap();

println!("{}", tree.list());

Console output:

> FileSystem
  |-> Cool_Folder
  |-> New_Folder
  |    |-> Strings
  |    |    |-> text.txt
