Example

Recursively iterate over the "foo" directory sorting by name:

use jwalk::{WalkDir};

for entry in WalkDir::new("foo").sort(true) {
  println!("{}", entry?.path().display());
}

Inspiration

This crate is inspired by both walkdir and ignore. It attempts to combine the parallelism of ignore with walkdir's streaming iterator API.

Why use this crate?

This crate is particularly fast when you want streamed sorted results. In my tests its about 4x walkdir speed for sorted results with metadata. Also this crate's process_entries callback allows you to arbitrarily sort/filter/skip entries before they are yielded.

Why not use this crate?

Directory traversal is already pretty fast. If you don't need this crate's speed then walkdir provides a smaller and more tested single threaded implementation.
