Ropey: A High-Performance Text Rope for Rust

Ropey is a UTF-8 text rope library written in Rust, designed as a backing text buffer for applications like text editors. It's fast, robust, and handles massive texts and memory-incoherent edits with ease. Ropey boasts strong Unicode support, predictable performance, and excels at frequent edits on medium-to-large texts. However, it's not ideal for very small texts or those exceeding available memory. Key features include line awareness, efficient rope slices, and flexible low-level APIs. Ropey has proven itself in various projects and undergoes rigorous testing, providing a reliable solution for text manipulation.
