untrusted.rs

Safe, fast, zero-panic, zero-crashing, zero-allocation parsing of untrusted inputs in Rust.

untrusted.rs is 100% Rust with no use of unsafe. It never uses the heap. No part of untrusted.rs's API will ever panic or cause a crash. It is #![no_std] and so it works perfectly with both libcore- and libstd- based projects. It does not depend on any crates other than libcore.

untrusted.rs is intended to be used with the latest version of Rust Stable. It should usually work with the latest Rust Beta and Rust Nightly versions too. Using a version of untrusted.rs other than the latest release available on crates.io is not recommended.

Documentation

See the documentation at https://briansmith.org/rustdoc/untrusted/.

To use untrusted.rs in your project, add a dependency to your Cargo.toml like this:

[dependencies]
untrusted = "0.2"

Examples

ring's parser for the subset of ASN.1 DER it needs to understand, ring::der, is built on top of untrusted.rs. ring also uses untrusted.rs to parse ECC public keys, RSA PKCS#1 1.5 padding, and everything else.

All of webpki's parsing of X.509 certificates (also ASN.1 DER) is done using untrusted.rs.

Online Automated Testing

Travis CI is used for Android, Linux, and Mac OS X. The tests are run for the current release of each Rust channel (Stable, Beta, Nightly). Since untrusted.rs only depends on libcore and it only uses 100% cross-platform code without using unsafe, it should work anywhere as long as these platforms are passing.
