Description: API documentation for the Rust `collections` crate.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, collections

# Crate collections [−] [src]

Deprecated since 1.20.0

: collections moved to `alloc`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`collections` #27783)

this library is unlikely to be stabilized in its current form or name

Collection types

See `std::collections` for a detailed discussion of collections in Rust.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
