A Rust library implementing ordered sets and maps using finite state transducers, enabling compact storage of billions of string keys with fast searchable queries. It supports memory-mapped access, range queries, Levenshtein fuzzy search, and regex automata integration.

Use cases

  • store billions of string keys compactly
  • fast range queries over large dictionaries
  • fuzzy string search with levenshtein automata
  • memory-mapped searchable key-value sets
  • build compact term dictionaries for search engines

When to choose

  • you need to index very large sets/maps of strings with minimal memory
  • you want fast fuzzy or range queries over static key data
  • you're building search or autocomplete infrastructure in Rust

When to avoid

  • you need frequent mutation of the set or map after building
  • your keys are few or small enough for standard HashMap/BTreeMap
  • you need rich value types rather than compact integer payloads
