Structurray
A Rust Library designed to help create struct
s that store many values of the same type.
These structures, or psuedo-arrays, are useful for increasing storage efficiency in Google Firebase (realtime database)
or other environments that store data as a string-like object but do not support arrays. This is because Structurray uses a Base62
algorithm, as outlined in the documentation of
ascii_basing
, to reduce
the length of identifiers compared to the base-10 naming algorithm usually used by default.
For more information about this library, check its documentation.

Psuedo-Array Generation
This crate allows for the generation of struct
s with an arbitrary, programmer-provided number (less than u32::MAX
) of identical fields with different names.
Generally speaking, it is also useful to use another crate, structinator
,
on large struct
s generated with this crate to allow your struct
to be automatically constructed from an Iterator
.
Psuedo-Array struct
s like this are ideal for reducing data spent on identifiers in online databases like Google Firebase.
To learn more about what this crate does, look at the documentation for this crates only public attribute, [macro@faux_array
].
