# `MultiArrayList`

**Experimental**: Only a small subset of the array list API is implemented.

---

A `MultiArrayList` stores a list of a struct.

> Instead of storing a single list of items, `MultiArrayList` stores separate lists for each field of the struct.
> This allows for memory savings if the struct has padding,
> and also improves cache usage if only some fields are needed for a computation.

The primary API for accessing fields is the [`items::<NAME>()`][`MultiArrayList::items()`] function.

---
_inspired by [Zig's `MultiArrayList`](https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#std.MultiArrayList)._

# Example
```rust
use multi_array_list::MultiArrayList;

struct Pizza {
    radius: u32,
    toppings: Vec<Topping>,
}

enum Topping {
    Tomato,
    Mozzarella,
    Anchovies,
}

let mut order = MultiArrayList::<Pizza>::new();

let margherita = Pizza {
    radius: 12,
    toppings: vec![Topping::Tomato],
};
order.push(margherita);

let napoli = Pizza {
    radius: 12,
    toppings: vec![Topping::Tomato, Topping::Anchovies],
};
order.push(napoli);

for topping in order.items_mut::<"toppings", Vec<Topping>>() {
    topping.push(Topping::Mozzarella);
}
```
