The Rust Prelude. +//! +//! Rust comes with a variety of things in its standard library. However, if +//! you had to manually import every single thing that you used, it would be +//! very verbose. But importing a lot of things that a program never uses isn't +//! good either. A balance needs to be struck. +//! +//! The *prelude* is the list of things that Rust automatically imports into +//! every Rust program. It's kept as small as possible, and is focused on +//! things, particularly traits, which are used in almost every single Rust +//! program. +//! +//! # Other preludes +//! +//! Preludes can be seen as a pattern to make using multiple types more +//! convenient. As such, you'll find other preludes in the standard library, +//! such as [`std::io::prelude`]. Various libraries in the Rust ecosystem may +//! also define their own preludes. +//! +//! [`std::io::prelude`]: ../io/prelude/index.html +//! +//! The difference between 'the prelude' and these other preludes is that they +//! are not automatically `use`'d, and must be imported manually. This is still +//! easier than importing all of their constituent components. +//! +//! # Prelude contents +//! +//! The current version of the prelude (version 1) lives in +//! [`std::prelude::v1`], and re-exports the following. +//! +//! * [`std::marker`]::{[`Copy`], [`Send`], [`Sized`], [`Sync`], [`Unpin`]}. The +//! marker traits indicate fundamental properties of types. +//! * [`std::ops`]::{[`Drop`], [`Fn`], [`FnMut`], [`FnOnce`]}. Various +//! operations for both destructors and overloading `()`. +//! * [`std::mem`]::[`drop`][`mem::drop`], a convenience function for explicitly +//! dropping a value. +//! * [`std::boxed`]::[`Box`], a way to allocate values on the heap. +//! * [`std::borrow`]::[`ToOwned`], The conversion trait that defines +//! [`to_owned`], the generic method for creating an owned type from a +//! borrowed type. +//! * [`std::clone`]::[`Clone`], the ubiquitous trait that defines +//! [`clone`][`Clone::clone`], the method for producing a copy of a value. +//! * [`std::cmp`]::{[`PartialEq`], [`PartialOrd`], [`Eq`], [`Ord`] }. The +//! comparison traits, which implement the comparison operators and are often +//! seen in trait bounds. +//! * [`std::convert`]::{[`AsRef`], [`AsMut`], [`Into`], [`From`]}. Generic +//! conversions, used by savvy API authors to create overloaded methods. +//! * [`std::default`]::[`Default`], types that have default values. +//! * [`std::iter`]::{[`Iterator`], [`Extend`], [`IntoIterator`], +//! [`DoubleEndedIterator`], [`ExactSizeIterator`]}. Iterators of various +//! kinds. +//! * [`std::option`]::[`Option`]::{`self`, `Some`, `None`}. A type which +//! expresses the presence or absence of a value. This type is so commonly +//! used, its variants are also exported. +//! * [`std::result`]::[`Result`]::{`self`, `Ok`, `Err`}. A type for functions +//! that may succeed or fail. Like [`Option`], its variants are exported as +//! well. +//! * [`std::string`]::{[`String`], [`ToString`]}, heap allocated strings. +//! * [`std::vec`]::[`Vec`](../vec/struct.Vec.html), a growable, heap-allocated +//! vector. +//! +//!
