This is a generic fuzzy and compact Trie implementation focused on:
* Small memory footprint.
* Efficient caching.
Trie is keyed by lists of type `K`, which can be anything satisfying the `KeyPrefix` and `Clone` traits.
This structure is thought to be used in some particular scenarios where:
* The keys prefixes are string based and highly repeating.
* The volume of keys to store is not very big.
* A fuzzy and customizable key matching strategy is needed.
For more information, see the [API documentation][doc].
# Usage
Add `fr-trie` to your `Cargo.toml`.
```toml
[dependencies]
fr-trie = "*"
```
# Examples
Glob matching with multiple results
```rust
use fr_trie::glob::acl::{Acl, AclTrie, Permissions};
use fr_trie::glob::GlobMatcher;
fn demo() {
let mut trie = AclTrie::new();
trie.insert(Acl::new("/path/*"), Permissions::READ);
trie.insert(Acl::new("/path/to/resource"), Permissions::WRITE);
// Multiget example 1
let result = trie.get_merge::<GlobMatcher>(&Acl::new("/path/to/anything"));
if let Some(value) = result {
if value == Permissions::READ {
println!("Expecting /path/* wilcard key is accessed");
}
}
// Multiget example 2
let result = trie.get_merge::<GlobMatcher>(&Acl::new("/path/to/resource"));
if let Some(value) = result {
if value == (Permissions::READ | Permissions::WRITE) {
println!("Expecting both /path/* wilcard key and /path/to/resource is accessed");
}
}
// Dump trie structure
trie.foreach(|tup| {
let indent= String::from_utf8(vec![b' '; tup.0 *3]).unwrap();
println!("{} {} = {:?}", indent, tup.1, tup.2);
});
}
```

* Still not fully-productive
