A Rust implementation of the xxHash algorithm.

Examples

These examples use XxHash64 but the same ideas can be used for XxHash32 or XxHash3_64.

Hashing arbitrary data

When all the data is available at once

use twox_hash::XxHash64;

let seed = 1234;
let hash = XxHash64::oneshot(seed, b"some bytes");
assert_eq!(0xeab5_5659_a496_d78b, hash);

When the data is streaming

use std::hash::Hasher as _;
use twox_hash::XxHash64;

let seed = 1234;
let mut hasher = XxHash64::with_seed(seed);
hasher.write(b"some");
hasher.write(b" ");
hasher.write(b"bytes");
let hash = hasher.finish();
assert_eq!(0xeab5_5659_a496_d78b, hash);

In a HashMap

With a default seed

use std::{collections::HashMap, hash::BuildHasherDefault};
use twox_hash::XxHash64;

let mut hash = HashMap::<_, _, BuildHasherDefault<XxHash64>>::default();
hash.insert(42, "the answer");
assert_eq!(hash.get(&42), Some(&"the answer"));

With a random seed

use std::collections::HashMap;
use twox_hash::xxhash64;

let mut hash = HashMap::<_, _, xxhash64::RandomState>::default();
hash.insert(42, "the answer");
assert_eq!(hash.get(&42), Some(&"the answer"));

With a fixed seed

use std::collections::HashMap;
use twox_hash::xxhash64;

let mut hash = HashMap::with_hasher(xxhash64::State::with_seed(0xdead_cafe));
hash.insert(42, "the answer");
assert_eq!(hash.get(&42), Some(&"the answer"));

Feature Flags

name	description
xxhash32	Include the XxHash32 algorithm
xxhash64	Include the XxHash64 algorithm
xxhash3_64	Include the XxHash3_64 algorithm
random	Create random instances of the hashers
serialize	Serialize and deserialize hasher state with Serde
std	Use the Rust standard library. Enable this if you want SIMD support in XxHash3_64
alloc	Use the Rust allocator library. Enable this if you want to create XxHash3_64 with dynamic secrets
