# itchy

[](https://crates.io/crates/itchy)
ITCH parser library for Rust. Implements the NASDAQ 5.0 spec which can be found [here](http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/technicalsupport/specifications/dataproducts/NQTVITCHSpecification_5.0.pdf).
It is zero-allocation (thanks [nom](http://github.com/geal/nom)!)
pretty fast, parsing around 20M messages/second on my XPS 9370.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
itchy = "0.2"
```
Simple usage example:
```rust
let stream = itchy::MessageStream::from_file("/path/to/file.itch").unwrap();
for msg in stream {
println!("{:?}", msg.unwrap())
}
```
See the [API docs](https://docs.rs/itchy/0.2.0/) for more information.
