dtoa

This crate provides fast conversion of floating point primitives to decimal strings. The implementation is a straightforward Rust port of Milo Yip's C++ implementation dtoa.h. The original C++ code of each function is included in comments.

See also [itoa] for printing integer primitives.

[dependencies]
dtoa = "1.0"

Example

fn main() {
    let mut buffer = dtoa::Buffer::new();
    let printed = buffer.format(2.71828f64);
    assert_eq!(printed, "2.71828");
}

Performance

The dtoa-benchmark compares this library and other Rust floating point formatting implementations across a range of precisions. The vertical axis in this chart shows nanoseconds taken by a single execution of dtoa::Buffer::new().format_finite(value) so a lower result indicates a faster library.
