minimal_lexical

This is a minimal version of rust-lexical, meant to allow efficient round-trip float parsing. This does not implement a correct float parser, however, it will be accurate for round-trip values.

Getting Started

extern crate minimal_lexical;

// Let's say we want to parse "1.2345".
// First, we have an external parser parse all the significant digits
// into a u64 (`12345`), and then we have the exponent adjusted to
// the mantissa (`-4`, since the value is `12345e-4`). Finally,
// we store whether digits were truncated from the mantissa during 
// parsing (false).
let float = minimal_lexical::parse_float::<f64>(12345, -4, false);
println!("float={:?}", float);    // 1.235
