+A module for building and searching with deterministic finite automata (DFAs).
+
+Like other modules in this crate, DFAs support a rich regex syntax with Unicode
+features. DFAs also have extensive options for configuring the best space vs
+time trade off for your use case and provides support for cheap deserialization
+of automata for use in `no_std` environments.
+
+If you're looking for lazy DFAs that build themselves incrementally during
+search, then please see the top-level [`hybrid` module](crate::hybrid).
+
+# Overview
+
+This section gives a brief overview of the primary types in this module:
+
+* A [`regex::Regex`] provides a way to search for matches of a regular
+expression using DFAs. This includes iterating over matches with both the start
+and end positions of each match.
+* A [`dense::DFA`] provides low level access to a DFA that uses a dense
+representation (uses lots of space, but fast searching).
+* A [`sparse::DFA`] provides the same API as a `dense::DFA`, but uses a sparse
+representation (uses less space, but slower searching).
+* An [`Automaton`] trait that defines an interface that both dense and sparse
+DFAs implement. (A `regex::Regex` is generic over this trait.)
+* Both dense DFAs and sparse DFAs support serialization to raw bytes (e.g.,
+[`dense::DFA::to_bytes_little_endian`]) and cheap deserialization (e.g.,
+[`dense::DFA::from_bytes`]).
+
+There is also a [`onepass`] module that provides a [one-pass
+DFA](onepass::DFA). The unique advantage of this DFA is that, for the class
+of regexes it can be built with, it supports reporting the spans of matching
+capturing groups. It is the only DFA in this crate capable of such a thing.
+
+# Example: basic regex searching
+
+This example shows how to compile a regex using the default configuration
+and then use it to find matches in a byte string:
+
+```
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::regex::Regex};
+
+let re = Regex::new(r"[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}")?;
+let text = b"2018-12-24 2016-10-08";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = re.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(0, 0..10),
+ Match::must(0, 11..21),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+# Example: searching with regex sets
+
+The DFAs in this module all fully support searching with multiple regexes
+simultaneously. You can use this support with standard leftmost-first style
+searching to find non-overlapping matches:
+
+```
+# if cfg!(miri) { return Ok(()); } // miri takes too long
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::regex::Regex};
+
+let re = Regex::new_many(&[r"\w+", r"\S+"])?;
+let text = b"@foo bar";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = re.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(1, 0..4),
+ Match::must(0, 5..8),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+# Example: use sparse DFAs
+
+By default, compiling a regex will use dense DFAs internally. This uses more
+memory, but executes searches more quickly. If you can abide slower searches
+(somewhere around 3-5x), then sparse DFAs might make more sense since they can
+use significantly less space.
+
+Using sparse DFAs is as easy as using `Regex::new_sparse` instead of
+`Regex::new`:
+
+```
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::regex::Regex};
+
+let re = Regex::new_sparse(r"[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}").unwrap();
+let text = b"2018-12-24 2016-10-08";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = re.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(0, 0..10),
+ Match::must(0, 11..21),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+If you already have dense DFAs for some reason, they can be converted to sparse
+DFAs and used to build a new `Regex`. For example:
+
+```
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::regex::Regex};
+
+let dense_re = Regex::new(r"[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}").unwrap();
+let sparse_re = Regex::builder().build_from_dfas(
+ dense_re.forward().to_sparse()?,
+ dense_re.reverse().to_sparse()?,
+);
+let text = b"2018-12-24 2016-10-08";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = sparse_re.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(0, 0..10),
+ Match::must(0, 11..21),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+# Example: deserialize a DFA
+
+This shows how to first serialize a DFA into raw bytes, and then deserialize
+those raw bytes back into a DFA. While this particular example is a
+bit contrived, this same technique can be used in your program to
+deserialize a DFA at start up time or by memory mapping a file.
+
+```
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::{dense, regex::Regex}};
+
+let re1 = Regex::new(r"[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}").unwrap();
+// serialize both the forward and reverse DFAs, see note below
+let (fwd_bytes, fwd_pad) = re1.forward().to_bytes_native_endian();
+let (rev_bytes, rev_pad) = re1.reverse().to_bytes_native_endian();
+// now deserialize both---we need to specify the correct type!
+let fwd: dense::DFA<&[u32]> = dense::DFA::from_bytes(&fwd_bytes[fwd_pad..])?.0;
+let rev: dense::DFA<&[u32]> = dense::DFA::from_bytes(&rev_bytes[rev_pad..])?.0;
+// finally, reconstruct our regex
+let re2 = Regex::builder().build_from_dfas(fwd, rev);
+
+// we can use it like normal
+let text = b"2018-12-24 2016-10-08";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = re2.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(0, 0..10),
+ Match::must(0, 11..21),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+There are a few points worth noting here:
+
+* We need to extract the raw DFAs used by the regex and serialize those. You
+can build the DFAs manually yourself using [`dense::Builder`], but using
+the DFAs from a `Regex` guarantees that the DFAs are built correctly. (In
+particular, a `Regex` constructs a reverse DFA for finding the starting
+location of matches.)
+* To convert the DFA to raw bytes, we use the `to_bytes_native_endian` method.
+In practice, you'll want to use either [`dense::DFA::to_bytes_little_endian`]
+or [`dense::DFA::to_bytes_big_endian`], depending on which platform you're
+deserializing your DFA from. If you intend to deserialize on either platform,
+then you'll need to serialize both and deserialize the right one depending on
+your target's endianness.
+* Safely deserializing a DFA requires verifying the raw bytes, particularly if
+they are untrusted, since an invalid DFA could cause logical errors, panics
+or even undefined behavior. This verification step requires visiting all of
+the transitions in the DFA, which can be costly. If cheaper verification is
+desired, then [`dense::DFA::from_bytes_unchecked`] is available that only does
+verification that can be performed in constant time. However, one can only use
+this routine if the caller can guarantee that the bytes provided encoded a
+valid DFA.
+
+The same process can be achieved with sparse DFAs as well:
+
+```
+use regex_automata::{Match, dfa::{sparse, regex::Regex}};
+
+let re1 = Regex::new(r"[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}").unwrap();
+// serialize both
+let fwd_bytes = re1.forward().to_sparse()?.to_bytes_native_endian();
+let rev_bytes = re1.reverse().to_sparse()?.to_bytes_native_endian();
+// now deserialize both---we need to specify the correct type!
+let fwd: sparse::DFA<&[u8]> = sparse::DFA::from_bytes(&fwd_bytes)?.0;
+let rev: sparse::DFA<&[u8]> = sparse::DFA::from_bytes(&rev_bytes)?.0;
+// finally, reconstruct our regex
+let re2 = Regex::builder().build_from_dfas(fwd, rev);
+
+// we can use it like normal
+let text = b"2018-12-24 2016-10-08";
+let matches: Vec<Match> = re2.find_iter(text).collect();
+assert_eq!(matches, vec![
+ Match::must(0, 0..10),
+ Match::must(0, 11..21),
+]);
+# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
+```
+
+Note that unlike dense DFAs, sparse DFAs have no alignment requirements.
+Conversely, dense DFAs must be be aligned to the same alignment as a
+[`StateID`](crate::util::primitives::StateID).
+
+# Support for `no_std` and `alloc`-only
+
+This crate comes with `alloc` and `std` features that are enabled by default.
+When the `alloc` or `std` features are enabled, the API of this module will
+include the facilities necessary for compiling, serializing, deserializing
+and searching with DFAs. When only the `alloc` feature is enabled, then
+implementations of the `std::error::Error` trait are dropped, but everything
+else generally remains the same. When both the `alloc` and `std` features are
+disabled, the API of this module will shrink such that it only includes the
+facilities necessary for deserializing and searching with DFAs.
+
+The intended workflow for `no_std` environments is thus as follows:
+
+* Write a program with the `alloc` or `std` features that compiles and
+serializes a regular expression. You may need to serialize both little and big
+endian versions of each DFA. (So that's 4 DFAs in total for each regex.)
+* In your `no_std` environment, follow the examples above for deserializing
+your previously serialized DFAs into regexes. You can then search with them as
+you would any regex.
+
+Deserialization can happen anywhere. For example, with bytes embedded into a
+binary or with a file memory mapped at runtime.
+
+The `regex-cli` command (found in the same repository as this crate) can be
+used to serialize DFAs to files and generate Rust code to read them.
+
+# Syntax
+
+This module supports the same syntax as the `regex` crate, since they share the
+same parser. You can find an exhaustive list of supported syntax in the
+[documentation for the `regex` crate](https://docs.rs/regex/1/regex/#syntax).
+
+There are two things that are not supported by the DFAs in this module:
+
+* Capturing groups. The DFAs (and [`Regex`](regex::Regex)es built on top
+of them) can only find the offsets of an entire match, but cannot resolve
+the offsets of each capturing group. This is because DFAs do not have the
+expressive power necessary.
+* Unicode word boundaries. These present particularly difficult challenges for
+DFA construction and would result in an explosion in the number of states.
+One can enable [`dense::Config::unicode_word_boundary`] though, which provides
+heuristic support for Unicode word boundaries that only works on ASCII text.
+Otherwise, one can use `(?-u:\b)` for an ASCII word boundary, which will work
+on any input.
+
+There are no plans to lift either of these limitations.
+
+Note that these restrictions are identical to the restrictions on lazy DFAs.
+
+# Differences with general purpose regexes
+
+The main goal of the [`regex`](https://docs.rs/regex) crate is to serve as a
+general purpose regular expression engine. It aims to automatically balance low
+compile times, fast search times and low memory usage, while also providing
+a convenient API for users. In contrast, this module provides a lower level
+regular expression interface based exclusively on DFAs that is a bit less
+convenient while providing more explicit control over memory usage and search
+times.
+
+Here are some specific negative differences:
+
+* **Compilation can take an exponential amount of time and space** in the size
+of the regex pattern. While most patterns do not exhibit worst case exponential
+time, such patterns do exist. For example, `[01]*1[01]{N}` will build a DFA
+with approximately `2^(N+2)` states. For this reason, untrusted patterns should
+not be compiled with this module. (In the future, the API may expose an option
+to return an error if the DFA gets too big.)
+* This module does not support sub-match extraction via capturing groups, which
+can be achieved with the regex crate's "captures" API.
+* While the regex crate doesn't necessarily sport fast compilation times,
+the regexes in this module are almost universally slow to compile, especially
+when they contain large Unicode character classes. For example, on my system,
+compiling `\w{50}` takes about 1 second and almost 15MB of memory! (Compiling
+a sparse regex takes about the same time but only uses about 1.2MB of
+memory.) Conversely, compiling the same regex without Unicode support, e.g.,
+`(?-u)\w{50}`, takes under 1 millisecond and about 15KB of memory. For this
+reason, you should only use Unicode character classes if you absolutely need
+them! (They are enabled by default though.)
+* This module does not support Unicode word boundaries. ASCII word bondaries
+may be used though by disabling Unicode or selectively doing so in the syntax,
+e.g., `(?-u:\b)`. There is also an option to
+[heuristically enable Unicode word boundaries](crate::dfa::dense::Config::unicode_word_boundary),
+where the corresponding DFA will give up if any non-ASCII byte is seen.
+* As a lower level API, this module does not do literal optimizations
+automatically. Although it does provide hooks in its API to make use of the
+[`Prefilter`](crate::util::prefilter::Prefilter) trait. Missing literal
+optimizations means that searches may run much slower than what you're
+accustomed to, although, it does provide more predictable and consistent
+performance.
+* There is no `&str` API like in the regex crate. In this module, all APIs
+operate on `&[u8]`. By default, match indices are
+guaranteed to fall on UTF-8 boundaries, unless either of
+[`syntax::Config::utf8`](crate::util::syntax::Config::utf8) or
+[`thompson::Config::utf8`](crate::nfa::thompson::Config::utf8) are disabled.
+
+With some of the downsides out of the way, here are some positive differences:
+
+* Both dense and sparse DFAs can be serialized to raw bytes, and then cheaply
+deserialized. Deserialization can be done in constant time with the unchecked
+APIs, since searching can be performed directly on the raw serialized bytes of
+a DFA.
+* This module was specifically designed so that the searching phase of a
+DFA has minimal runtime requirements, and can therefore be used in `no_std`
+environments. While `no_std` environments cannot compile regexes, they can
+deserialize pre-compiled regexes.
+* Since this module builds DFAs ahead of time, it will generally out-perform
+the `regex` crate on equivalent tasks. The performance difference is likely
+not large. However, because of a complex set of optimizations in the regex
+crate (like literal optimizations), an accurate performance comparison may be
+difficult to do.
+* Sparse DFAs provide a way to build a DFA ahead of time that sacrifices search
+performance a small amount, but uses much less storage space. Potentially even
+less than what the regex crate uses.
+* This module exposes DFAs directly, such as [`dense::DFA`] and
+[`sparse::DFA`], which enables one to do less work in some cases. For example,
+if you only need the end of a match and not the start of a match, then you can
+use a DFA directly without building a `Regex`, which always requires a second
+DFA to find the start of a match.
+* This module provides more control over memory usage. Aside from choosing
+between dense and sparse DFAs, one can also choose a smaller state identifier
+representation to use less space. Also, one can enable DFA minimization
+via [`dense::Config::minimize`], but it can increase compilation times
+dramatically.
