A parser and evaluator for npm's flavor of Semantic Versioning, compliant with node-semver.

This crate is designed for the JavaScript ecosystem and follows [node-semver](https://github.com/npm/node-semver) (the one npm uses) parsing and range semantics.
It maintains high compatibility and performance, and has zero dependencies by default.

## Example

```rust
use js_semver::{BuildMetadata, PreRelease, Range, Version};

fn main() {
    let range: Range = ">=4.1.0 <5.0.0".parse().unwrap();

    // Pre-release versions are not included in the range unless explicitly specified.
    let version = Version {
        major: 4,
        minor: 1,
        patch: 0,
        pre_release: PreRelease::new("rc.1").unwrap(),
        build: BuildMetadata::default(),
    };
    assert!(!range.satisfies(&version));

    // Stable version is included in the range.
    let version: Version = "4.1.0".parse().unwrap();
    assert!(range.satisfies(&version));
}
```

## Features

### `serde`

Enable `serde` to serialize and deserialize versions and ranges:

```toml
[dependencies]
js-semver = { version = "0.3", features = ["serde"] }
serde_json = "1"
```

For example, read a dependency range from `package.json`:

```rust
use js_semver::Range;

let package: serde_json::Value =
    serde_json::from_str(r#"{"dependencies":{"react":"^19.0.0"}}"#).unwrap();
let react: Range = serde_json::from_value(package["dependencies"]["react"].clone()).unwrap();
assert!(react.satisfies(&"19.1.0".parse().unwrap()));
```

`Range` is serialized in its normalized form. Invalid strings produce a deserialization error.

### `no-std`

`std` feature is enabled by default. To use `js-semver` in a `no_std` environment, disable the default features:

```toml
[dependencies]
js-semver = { version = "0.3", default-features = false }
```

## Comparison with other crates

### node-semver

[node-semver](https://crates.io/crates/node-semver) crate has numerous issues, including unnecessary dependencies like `miette`, incompatibilities with npm's [node-semver](https://github.com/npm/node-semver), and the fact that it is no longer actively maintained.

### semver

[semver](https://crates.io/crates/semver) crate is designed for Cargo. Therefore, it is not well-suited for the Node.js ecosystem, such as parsing versions in `package.json`.
