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.

dtoa = "1.0"

## Example

```rust
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.
