composable-indexes

A Rust library for collections with flexible and composable in-memory indexes. The indexes stay in sync with the collection without any extra effort.

Features

• Batteries included - built-in indexes for common use cases.
  • Optional support for persistent data structures via the im feature.
• Fast - indexes are backed by performant data structures.
• Composable - build complex indexes from simple ones with combinators.
• Extensible - write your own index and aggregations.
• Safe - Small core, property-based tests, no unsafe.
• Compact - Single runtime dependency (hashbrown), no_std compatible.

Example

See session.rs for an example.

Notes

Roadmap

• Transactions (being able to do multiple operations atomically and means to discard changes)
• Fallible operations (i.e., conflicts, postconditions)

Future & ideas

• On-disk storage backends
• Operations on more than one collection (i.e., foreign keys, joins)
• Change data capture
• Sub-documents, better handling of nested data structures
