Pure Rust implementation of Ryū, an algorithm to quickly convert floating point
numbers to decimal strings.
The PLDI'18 paper [*Ryū: fast float-to-string conversion*][paper] by Ulf Adams
includes a complete correctness proof of the algorithm. The paper is available
under the creative commons CC-BY-SA license.
This Rust implementation is a line-by-line port of Ulf Adams' implementation in
C, [https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu][upstream].
*Requirements: this crate supports any compiler version back to rustc 1.36; it
uses nothing from the Rust standard library so is usable from no_std crates.*

[upstream]: https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu/tree/abf76d252bc97300354857e64e80d4a2bf664291
```toml
[dependencies]
ryu = "1.0"
```

## Example
```rust
fn main() {
let mut buffer = ryu::Buffer::new();
let printed = buffer.format(1.234);
assert_eq!(printed, "1.234");
}
```

## Performance (lower is better)
![performance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dtolnay/ryu/master/performance.png)
You can run upstream's benchmarks with:
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu c-ryu
$ cd c-ryu
$ bazel run -c opt //ryu/benchmark:ryu_benchmark
```
And the same benchmark against our implementation with:
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/dtolnay/ryu rust-ryu
$ cd rust-ryu
$ cargo run --example upstream_benchmark --release
```
These benchmarks measure the average time to print a 32-bit float and average
time to print a 64-bit float, where the inputs are distributed as uniform random
bit patterns 32 and 64 bits wide.
The upstream C code, the unsafe direct Rust port, and the safe pretty Rust API
all perform the same, taking around 21 nanoseconds to format a 32-bit float and
31 nanoseconds to format a 64-bit float.
There is also a Rust-specific benchmark comparing this implementation to the
standard library which you can run with:
```console
$ cargo bench
```
The benchmark shows Ryū approximately 2-5x faster than the standard library
across a range of f32 and f64 inputs. Measurements are in nanoseconds per
iteration; smaller is better.
## Formatting
This library tends to produce more human-readable output than the standard
library's to\_string, which never uses scientific notation. Here are two
examples:
- *ryu:* 1.23e40, *std:* 12300000000000000000000000000000000000000
- *ryu:* 1.23e-40, *std:* 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000123
Both libraries print short decimals such as 0.0000123 without scientific
notation.
