facet-singularize 0.44.0

//! Fast, no-regex English singularization.
//!
//! This crate provides functions to convert plural English words to their singular form,
//! without using regex. It's designed for use in deserialization where performance matters.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use facet_singularize::singularize;
//!
//! assert_eq!(singularize("dependencies"), "dependency");
//! assert_eq!(singularize("items"), "item");
//! assert_eq!(singularize("children"), "child");
//! assert_eq!(singularize("boxes"), "box");
//! ```
//!
//! # Performance
//!
//! This crate uses simple string operations (suffix matching, table lookups) instead of
//! regex, making it suitable for hot paths like deserialization.
