Expand description
Defines a Collate
trait to standardize collation methods across data types. The provided
Collator
struct can be used to collate a collection of items of type T
where T: Ord
.
Collate
is useful for implementing a B-Tree, or to handle cases where a collator type is
more efficient than calling Ord::cmp
repeatedly, for example when collating localized strings
using rust_icu_ucol
. It’s also useful to handle types like complex numbers which do not
necessarily have a natural ordering.
Use the “stream” feature flag to enable diff
and try_diff
functions to compute the
difference between two collated Stream
s, and the merge
and try_merge
functions
to merge two collated Stream
s.
