//! 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].
//!
//! [paper]: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3192369
//! [upstream]: https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```edition2018
//! fn main() {
//! let mut buffer = ryu::Buffer::new();
//! let printed = buffer.format(1.234);
//! assert_eq!(printed, "1.234");
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Performance
//!
//! 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
//! ```
//!
//! 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 Ryu approximately 4-10x faster than the standard library
//! across a range of f32 and f64 inputs. Measurements are in nanoseconds per
//! iteration; smaller is better.
//!
//! | type=f32 | 0.0 | 0.1234 | 2.718281828459045 | f32::MAX |
//! |:--------:|:----:|:------:|:-----------------:|:--------:|
//! | RYU | 3ns | 28ns | 23ns | 22ns |
//! | STD | 40ns | 106ns | 128ns | 110ns |
//!
//! | type=f64 | 0.0 | 0.1234 | 2.718281828459045 | f64::MAX |
//! |:--------:|:----:|:------:|:-----------------:|:--------:|
//! | RYU | 3ns | 50ns | 35ns | 32ns |
//! | STD | 39ns | 105ns | 128ns | 202ns |
//!
//! ## 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.
