[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/dtolnay/dtoa.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dtolnay/dtoa)

[![Rust Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/api-rustdoc-blue.svg)](https://docs.rs/dtoa)

This crate provides fast functions for printing floating-point primitives to an
[`io::Write`]. The implementation is a straightforward Rust port of [Milo Yip]'s
C++ implementation [dtoa.h]. The original C++ code of each function is included
in comments.

See also [`itoa`] for printing integer primitives.

*Version requirement: rustc 1.0+*

[`io::Write`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Write.html

## Performance (lower is better)

## Examples

```rust
use std::io;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    // Write to a vector or other io::Write.
    let mut buf = Vec::new();
    dtoa::write(&mut buf, 2.71828f64)?;
    println!("{:?}", buf);

    // Write to a stack buffer.
    let mut bytes = [b'\0'; 20];
    let n = dtoa::write(&mut bytes[..], 2.71828f64)?;
    println!("{:?}", &bytes[..n]);

    Ok(())
}
```

The function signature is:

```rust
fn write<W: io::Write, V: dtoa::Floating>(writer: W, value: V) -> io::Result<()>;
```

where `dtoa::Floating` is implemented for f32 and f64. The return value gives
the number of bytes written.
