decollate

Blazing-fast string collation, deconstructed.

decollate is a high-performance, context-free collation library that provides locale-aware string comparison by deconstructing complex collation rules to their essential components.

Status

⚠️ This project is in early development. The API is unstable and functionality is limited.

Goals

• Provide collation that is 100x faster than ICU for languages without digraphs
• Support the top 50 languages using compressed CLDR data
• Maintain 99.999% compatibility with ICU for supported languages
• Minimal footprint with zero runtime dependencies

Usage

[dependencies]
decollate = "0.0.1"

use decollate::Collator;
use std::cmp::Ordering;

let collator = Collator::new("en").unwrap();
assert_eq!(collator.compare("a", "b"), Ordering::Less);
