tesseract-plumbing
Crate to expose a safe version of the tesseract-sys api.
This is designed to expose the C API of tesseract in a safe manner.
Adding value by deviating from the API is a non-goal. That is left to libraries
that build on top of tesseract-plumbing.
Requirements/Features
Requires Tesseract version 5.2.0 or newer by default. Use --no-default-features if using an older version.
Motivation
I'm a maintainer of both leptess and tesseract-rs.
I noticed that there was a lot of duplication in how they interact with both
leptonica-sys and
tesseract-sys. Having multiple layers
of abstraction in leptess and tesseract-rs made it hard to reason about
their memory safety.
Having a safety layer that stays simple improves the correctness and maintainability of the above libraries.
