Rust (ducrs)

Foundational Rust crate powering the core logic, parsing, serialization, and WebAssembly bindings for all .duc ecosystem adapters.

Overview

While the SQLite database schema defines the relational container format and schema, ducrs implements the core engine logic for binary parsing, gzip envelope decompression, DAG version control, chunk streaming, and serialization.

Foundational Architecture

Every ecosystem SDK and adapter builds directly on top of ducrs:

Core Engine Foundation: ducrs serves as the primary implementation of all binary container operations, validation rules, and schema migrations.
Python Bindings (ducpy): Exposes native CPython extension modules compiled via PyO3 for high-performance Python execution.
WebAssembly Bindings (ducjs, duc2pdf): Compiles to WebAssembly (wasm32-unknown-unknown) to power browser and Node.js JavaScript runtimes.

Core Capabilities

Zero-Cost Abstractions: High-performance, type-safe structures mapping directly to SQLite relational tables without runtime overhead.
Memory Safety & Speed: Memory-safe parsing, fast stream serialization, and low-latency database transactions.
Universal Compilation: Compiles natively across macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, and WebAssembly targets.
