About:
The rure package provides the official C language bindings for Rust's regex engine. It enables developers to leverage the performance and safety of Rust's regex capabilities directly within C and C++ applications. This library offers a stable FFI interface for integrating powerful pattern matching into non-Rust projects.
Key Features:
  • High-performance regex engine based on finite automata
  • Stable C API (Foreign Function Interface) for easy integration
  • Memory-safe regex execution from C/C++
  • Supports Unicode and Perl-compatible regular expressions
Use Cases:
  • Embedding a robust regex engine into existing C/C++ software
  • Building high-performance text processing tools
  • Adding safe pattern matching to legacy systems
Alternatives:
  • PCRE2 – PCRE2 is a widely used C library, but rure offers a memory-safe alternative backed by Rust's safety guarantees.
  • RE2 – Google's RE2 library focuses on linear time execution; rure provides a similar performance profile but with Rust-specific safety features.
