iqa 0.1.1

A single, ergonomic API over the patchwork of visual quality assessment metrics in the Rust ecosystem.
Documentation
//! Raw FFI bindings to the Butteraugli C shim.
//!
//! The shim (`third_party/shim/butteraugli_shim.{h,cc}`) exposes a clean C ABI
//! around libjxl's Butteraugli comparator; it is compiled by `build.rs` into
//! the shared native archive when the `butteraugli` feature is enabled. The FFI
//! surface is a single struct and a single function, so it is declared by hand
//! rather than generated.
