#![forbid(unsafe_code)] #![deny(missing_docs)] #![warn(clippy::pedantic, clippy::nursery, clippy::cargo)] //! # `git_config` //! //! This crate is a high performance `git-config` file reader and writer. It //! exposes a high level API to parse, read, and write [`git-config` files], //! which are loosely based on the [INI file format]. //! //! This crate has a few primary offerings and various accessory functions. The //! table below gives a brief explanation of all offerings, loosely in order //! from the highest to lowest abstraction. //! //! | Offering | Description | Zero-copy? | //! | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | //! | [`GitConfig`] | Accelerated wrapper for reading and writing values. | On some reads[^1] | //! | [`Parser`] | Syntactic event emitter for `git-config` files. | Yes | //! | [`Value`] | Wrappers for `git-config` value types. | Yes | //! //! This crate also exposes efficient value normalization which unescapes //! characters and removes quotes through the `normalize_*` family of functions, //! located in the [`values`] module. //! //! # Zero-copy versus zero-alloc //! //! We follow [`nom`]'s definition of "zero-copy": //! //! > If a parser returns a subset of its input data, it will return a slice of //! > that input, without copying. //! //! Due to the syntax of `git-config`, we must allocate at the parsing level //! (and thus higher level abstractions must allocate as well) in order to //! provide a meaningful event stream. That being said, all operations with the //! parser is still zero-copy. Higher level abstractions may have operations //! that are zero-copy, but are not guaranteed to do so. //! //! However, we intend to be performant as possible, so allocations are //! limited restricted and we attempt to avoid copying whenever possible. //! //! [^1]: When read values do not need normalization. //! //! [`git-config` files]: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#_configuration_file //!
