//!
//! <br>
//!
//! A parser and evaluator for Cargo's flavor of Semantic Versioning.
//!
//! Semantic Versioning (see <https://semver.org>) is a guideline for how
//! version numbers are assigned and incremented. It is widely followed within
//! the Cargo/crates.io ecosystem for Rust.
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use semver::{BuildMetadata, Prerelease, Version, VersionReq};
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let req = VersionReq::parse(">=1.2.3, <1.8.0").unwrap();
//!
//!     // Check whether this requirement matches version 1.2.3-alpha.1 (no)
//!     let version = Version {
//!         major: 1,
//!         minor: 2,
//!         patch: 3,
//!         pre: Prerelease::new("alpha.1").unwrap(),
//!         build: BuildMetadata::EMPTY,
//!     };
//!     assert!(!req.matches(&version));
//!
//!     // Check whether it matches 1.3.0 (yes it does)
//!     let version = Version::parse("1.3.0").unwrap();
//!     assert!(req.matches(&version));
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! <br><br>
//!
//! # Scope of this crate
//!
//! Besides Cargo, several other package ecosystems and package managers for
//! other languages also use SemVer:&ensp;RubyGems/Bundler for Ruby, npm for
//! JavaScript, Composer for PHP, CocoaPods for Objective-C...
//!
//! The `semver` crate is specifically intended to implement Cargo's
//! interpretation of Semantic Versioning.
//!
//! Where the various tools differ in their interpretation or implementation of
//! the spec, this crate follows the implementation choices made by Cargo. If
//! you are operating on version numbers from some other package ecosystem, you
//! will want to use a different semver library which is appropriate to that
//! ecosystem.
//!
//! The extent of Cargo's SemVer support is documented in the *[Specifying
//! Dependencies]* chapter of the Cargo reference.
//!
//! [Specifying Dependencies]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html

/// **SemVer version** as defined by <https://semver.org>.
///
/// # Syntax
///
/// - The major, minor, and patch numbers may be any integer 0 through u64::MAX.
///   When representing a SemVer version as a string, each number is written as
///   a base 10 integer. For example, `1.0.119`.
///
/// - Leading zeros are forbidden in those positions. For example `1.01.00` is
///   invalid as a SemVer version.
///
/// - The pre-release identifier, if present, must conform to the syntax
///   documented for [`Prerelease`].
///
/// - The build metadata, if present, must conform to the syntax documented for
///   [`BuildMetadata`].
///
/// - Whitespace is not allowed anywhere in the version.
///
/// # Total ordering
///
/// Given any two SemVer versions, one is less than, greater than, or equal to
/// the other. Versions may be compared against one another using Rust's usual
/// comparison operators.
///
/// - The major, minor, and patch number are compared numerically from left to
/// right, lexicographically ordered as a 3-tuple of integers. So for example
/// version `1.5.0` is less than version `1.19.0`, despite the fact that
/// "1.19.0" &lt; "1.5.0" as ASCIIbetically compared strings and 1.19 &lt; 1.5
/// as real numbers.
///
/// - When major, minor, and patch are equal, a pre-release version is
///   considered less than the ordinary release:&ensp;version `1.0.0-alpha.1` is
///   less than version `1.0.0`.
///
/// - Two pre-releases of the same major, minor, patch are compared by
///   lexicographic ordering of dot-separated components of the pre-release
///   string.
///
///   - Identifiers consisting of only digits are compared
///     numerically:&ensp;`1.0.0-pre.8` is less than `1.0.0-pre.12`.
///
///   - Identifiers that contain a letter or hyphen are compared in ASCII sort
///     order:&ensp;`1.0.0-pre12` is less than `1.0.0-pre8`.
///
///   - Any numeric identifier is always less than any non-numeric
///     identifier:&ensp;`1.0.0-pre.1` is less than `1.0.0-pre.x`.
///
/// Example:&ensp;`1.0.0-alpha`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-alpha.1`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-alpha.beta`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-beta`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-beta.2`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-beta.11`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0-rc.1`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`1.0.0`

/// *Tip:* Be aware that if you are planning to number your own pre-releases,

/// identifiers by using a dot in between. That is, prefer pre-releases
/// `alpha.1`, `alpha.2`, etc rather than `alpha1`, `alpha2` etc. The SemVer
/// spec's rule for pre-release precedence has special treatment of numeric
/// components in the pre-release string, but only if there are no non-digit
/// characters in the same dot-separated component. So you'd have `alpha.2` &lt;
/// `alpha.11` as intended, but `alpha11` &lt; `alpha2`.
///
/// # Syntax
///
/// Pre-release strings are a series of dot separated identifiers immediately
/// following the patch version. Identifiers must comprise only ASCII
/// alphanumerics and hyphens: `0-9`, `A-Z`, `a-z`, `-`. Identifiers must not be
/// empty. Numeric identifiers must not include leading zeros.
///
/// # Total ordering
///
/// Pre-releases have a total order defined by the SemVer spec. It uses
/// lexicographic ordering of dot-separated components. Identifiers consisting
/// of only digits are compared numerically. Otherwise, identifiers are compared
/// in ASCII sort order. Any numeric identifier is always less than any
/// non-numeric identifier.
///

/// Some real world build metadata idioms drawn from crates.io:
///
/// - **[libgit2-sys]** <code>0.12.20+<b>1.1.0</b></code> &mdash; for this
///   crate, the build metadata indicates the version of the C libgit2 library
///   that the Rust crate is built against.
///
/// - **[mashup]** <code>0.1.13+<b>deprecated</b></code> &mdash; just the word
///   "deprecated" for a crate that has been superseded by another. Eventually
///   people will take notice of this in Cargo's build output where it lists the
///   crates being compiled.
///
/// - **[google-bigquery2]** <code>2.0.4+<b>20210327</b></code> &mdash; this
///   library is automatically generated from an official API schema, and the
///   build metadata indicates the date on which that schema was last captured.
///
/// - **[fbthrift-git]** <code>0.0.6+<b>c7fcc0e</b></code> &mdash; this crate is
///   published from snapshots of a big company monorepo. In monorepo
///   development, there is no concept of versions, and all downstream code is
///   just updated atomically in the same commit that breaking changes to a
///   library are landed. Therefore for crates.io purposes, every published
///   version must be assumed to be incompatible with the previous. The build
///   metadata provides the source control hash of the snapshotted code.
///

/// # Syntax
///
/// Build metadata is a series of dot separated identifiers immediately
/// following the patch or pre-release version. Identifiers must comprise only
/// ASCII alphanumerics and hyphens: `0-9`, `A-Z`, `a-z`, `-`. Identifiers must
/// not be empty. Leading zeros *are* allowed, unlike any other place in the
/// SemVer grammar.
///
/// # Total ordering
///
/// Build metadata is ignored in evaluating `VersionReq`; it plays no role in
/// whether a `Version` matches any one of the comparison operators.
///
/// However for comparing build metadatas among one another, they do have a
/// total order which is determined by lexicographic ordering of dot-separated
/// components. Identifiers consisting of only digits are compared numerically.
/// Otherwise, identifiers are compared in ASCII sort order. Any numeric
/// identifier is always less than any non-numeric identifier.
///
/// Example:&ensp;`demo`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.85`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.90`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.090`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.200`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.1a0`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`demo.a`&ensp;&lt;&ensp;`memo`
