✨ Sift Duplicate Whitespaces In One Function Call

This crate helps you remove duplicate whitespaces within a UTF-8 encoded string.
It naturally removes the whitespaces at the start and end of the string.

⚡️Benchmarks

Performance is a priority; Most updates are performance improvements.
The benchmark uses a transcript of the Bee Movie.

Execute these commands to benchmark:

$ git clone https://github.com/JumperBot/whitespace-sifter.git
$ cd whitespace-sifter
$ cargo bench

You should only look for results that look like the following:

Sift/Sift               time:   [178.69 µs 178.84 µs 179.03 µs]
Sift Preserved/Sift Preserved
                        time:   [179.61 µs 179.75 µs 179.90 µs]

In just 0.0001 seconds; Pretty impressive, no?

📈 Crate Comparison

Using the same benchmark configuration:

Disclaimers:

1: I do not know the crate maintainers nor asked for permission to include their crates here.

2: As far as I know, there are only three crates dedicated to whitespace sifting/collapse.

3: fast_whitespace_collapse was not able to collapse cr-lf and line feeds.
