Comparing version numbers is hard, especially with weird version number formats.

This library helps you to easily compare any kind of version number with no specific format using a best-effort approach. Two version numbers can be compared to each other to get a comparison operator (<, ==, >), or test them against a comparison operator.

Along with version comparison, the library provides various other tools for working with version numbers.

use version_compare::{compare, Cmp};

fn main() {
    let a = "1.3";
    let b = "1.2.4";

    match compare(a, b) {
        Ok(Cmp::Lt) => println!("Version a is less than b"),
        Ok(Cmp::Eq) => println!("Version a is equal to b"),
        Ok(Cmp::Gt) => println!("Version a is greater than b"),
        _ => panic!("Invalid version number"),
    }
}
