+[![Travis CI Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/fitzgen/id-arena.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/fitzgen/id-arena)
+
+A simple, id-based arena.
+
+### Id-based
+
+Allocate objects and get an identifier for that object back, *not* a
+reference to the allocated object. Given an id, you can get a shared or
+exclusive reference to the allocated object from the arena. This id-based
+approach is useful for constructing mutable graph data structures.
+
+If you want allocation to return a reference, consider [the `typed-arena`
+crate](https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-typed-arena/) instead.
+
+### No Deletion
+
+This arena does not support deletion, which makes its implementation simple
+and allocation fast. If you want deletion, you need a way to solve the ABA
+problem. Consider using [the `generational-arena`
+crate](https://github.com/fitzgen/generational-arena) instead.
+
+### Homogeneous
+
+This crate's arenas can only contain objects of a single type `T`. If you
+need an arena of objects with heterogeneous types, consider another crate.
+
+### `#![no_std]` Support
+
+Requires the `alloc` nightly feature. Disable the on-by-default `"std"` feature:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies.id-arena]
+version = "2"
+default-features = false
+```
+
+### `rayon` Support
+
+If the `rayon` feature of this crate is activated:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+id-arena = { version = "2", features = ["rayon"] }
+```
+
+then you can use [`rayon`](https://crates.io/crates/rayon)'s support for
+parallel iteration. The `Arena` type will have a `par_iter` family of
+methods where appropriate.
+
+### Example
+
+```rust
+use id_arena::{Arena, Id};
+
+type AstNodeId = Id<AstNode>;
+
+#[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq)]
+pub enum AstNode {
+ Const(i64),
+ Var(String),
+ Add {
+ lhs: AstNodeId,
+ rhs: AstNodeId,
+ },
+ Sub {
+ lhs: AstNodeId,
+ rhs: AstNodeId,
+ },
+ Mul {
+ lhs: AstNodeId,
+ rhs: AstNodeId,
+ },
+ Div {
+ lhs: AstNodeId,
+ rhs: AstNodeId,
+ },
+}
+
+let mut ast_nodes = Arena::<AstNode>::new();
+
+// Create the AST for `a * (b + 3)`.
+let three = ast_nodes.alloc(AstNode::Const(3));
+let b = ast_nodes.alloc(AstNode::Var("b".into()));
+let b_plus_three = ast_nodes.alloc(AstNode::Add {
+ lhs: b,
+ rhs: three,
+});
+let a = ast_nodes.alloc(AstNode::Var("a".into()));
+let a_times_b_plus_three = ast_nodes.alloc(AstNode::Mul {
+ lhs: a,
+ rhs: b_plus_three,
+});
+
+// Can use indexing to access allocated nodes.
+assert_eq!(ast_nodes[three], AstNode::Const(3));
+```
