small-fixed-array

See module documentation or use cargo doc --open.

lib.rs:

A crate for FixedArray and FixedString, types to provide a smaller memory footprint in exchange for:

• Immutablity, FixedArray and FixedString cannot be mutated without converting back to their expanded forms.
• Maximum length, FixedArray and FixedString have a length cap of LenT::MAX elements.

These types provide cheap conversions to [Vec] and String, to make up for most of these downsides, but it is still not recommended to use these collections for mutated values as you will see a performance downside.

These can be thought of as Box<[T]> and Box<str>, except the length is denoted as LenT, by default [u32].

Features

• nightly: Speeds up FixedString::len for small strings, using portable_simd.
• serde: Provides serde implementations for FixedArray and FixedString.
• typesize: Provides typesize implementations for FixedArray and FixedString.

MSRV

The Minimum Supported Rust Version of this crate is 1.70.

It is considered a breaking change to raise this.
