Struct string_compressor::StringCompressor

pub struct StringCompressor { /* private fields */ }

A structure that can create minimally compact, non-colliding, base-64 aliases for a set of strings. This is different then a “hasher”, because it optimizes for small hash sizes, but two instances won’t yield the same hashed values for a given input string unless the order of hash operations is identical.

Implementations

impl StringCompressor

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new StringCompressor instance.

pub fn compress(&mut self, expanded: String) -> String

Create a compressed alias for a given String. Invoking this function multiple times with the same input will yield the same result.

pub fn expand(&mut self, compressed: String) -> Option<String>

Return the original value that yielded a given compressed String
