`bimap-rs` is a pure Rust library for dealing with bijective maps, aiming to
feel like an extension of the standard library's data structures whenever
possible. There are no external dependencies by default but [Serde] and
[`no_std`] compatibility are available through feature flags.

## Quick start

To use the latest version of `bimap-rs` with the default features, add this to
your project's `Cargo.toml` file:

```toml
[dependencies]
bimap = "0.6.3"
```

You can now run the `bimap-rs` Hello World!

```rust
fn main() {
    // A bijective map between letters of the English alphabet and their positions.
    let mut alphabet = bimap::BiMap::<char, u8>::new();

    alphabet.insert('A', 1);
    // ...
    alphabet.insert('Z', 26);

    println!("A is at position {}", alphabet.get_by_left(&'A').unwrap());
    println!("{} is at position 26", alphabet.get_by_right(&26).unwrap());
}
```

## Feature flags

| Flag name | Description                        | Enabled by default? |
| ---       | ---                                | ---                 |
| `std`     | Standard library usage (`HashMap`) | yes                 |
| `serde`   | (De)serialization using [Serde]    | no                  |

This `Cargo.toml` shows how these features can be enabled and disabled.

```toml
[dependencies]
# I just want to use `bimap-rs`.
bimap = "0.6.3"

# I want to use `bimap-rs` without the Rust standard library.
bimap = { version = "0.6.3", default-features = false }

# I want to use `bimap-rs` with Serde support.
bimap = { version = "0.6.3", features = ["serde"] }
```
