MIT/Apache

6KB

Byte-oriented line/column indexing helpers.

This crate has one responsibility: map byte offsets to (line, column) and back using cached line starts.


perl-line-index

A tiny microcrate that provides a byte-oriented line index used by incremental parsing paths.

API

  • LineIndex::new(&str) builds a line-start cache.
  • LineIndex::byte_to_position(usize) maps byte offset to (line, column).
  • LineIndex::position_to_byte(line, column) maps back to byte offsets.
