packageurl-rs

Read and generate Package URLs in Rust.

This crate is an implementation of the Package URL specification for the Rust programming language.

Add this crate to the Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
packageurl = "0.5.0"

Parse a string containing a raw PURL using the FromStr trait:

use std::str::FromStr;
use packageurl::PackageUrl;
fn example() {
    let purl = PackageUrl::from_str("pkg:cargo/packageurl@0.3.0");
}

Creating a PURL from Rust and then generating a string representation using: the ToString trait:

use std::string::ToString;
fn example() {
    let canonical = package::PackageUrl::new("cargo", "packageurl")
        .expect("only fails if type is invalid")
        .with_version("0.3.0")
        .to_string();
}

serde serialization and deserialization is also supported, provided the serde feature is enabled:

[dependencies]
packageurl = { version = "0.5.0", features = ["serde"] }

See more in the online documentation.

• memchr: use the memchr crate to locate separator when parsing.
• serde: enable serialization and deserialization support with the serde crate.
