//! Simple first-order digital lowpass filters, compatible with `no_std`. You can
//! use it, for example, to get the low frequencies from a song.
//!
//! ## Difference to `biquad`
//!
//! **⚠ TL;DR: `biquad` might be a better option in some use-cases.**
//!
//! This crate provides a basic and simple to understand, first order lowpass
//! filter. The [biquad](https://crates.io/crates/biquad) crate offers second order
//! filters, with higher accuracy. From my testing, a lowpass filter created with
//! `biquad` has higher computational costs as this crate, but offers a
//! **better resolution for actually cutting of signals above the cut-off frequency
//! while the preserved signal will be less attenuated**.
//!
//! So for production use-cases, please also consider using `biquad`. You can run
//! benchmark and check your data (e.g., by plotting) to make that decision.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! You can either use the [`LowpassFilter`] type to integrate the filter in
//! iterator chains or you can use a convenient function such as
//! [`lowpass_filter`] and [`lowpass_filter_f64`]. The first approach is more
//! flexible.
//!
//! ### Example with `LowpassFilter` type
//!
//! See implementation of [`lowpass_filter`].
//!
//! ### Example with `lowpass_filter` function
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use lowpass_filter::lowpass_filter;
//!
//! // some samples
//! let mut mono_audio_data = [0.0, 1.0, -5.0, 1551.0, 141.0, 24.0];
//! // mutates the input buffer
//! lowpass_filter(&mut mono_audio_data, 44100.0, 120.0);
//! ```
