By default, the binary is built as well. If you don't want/need it, you can omit the default features and build like this:

cargo build --no-default-features

Or add in the below way:

cargo add tzf-rs --no-default-features

It's expensive to init tzf-rs's Finder/FuzzyFinder/DefaultFinder, so please consider reusing instances or creating one as a global variable. Below is a global variable example:

use lazy_static::lazy_static;
use tzf_rs::DefaultFinder;

lazy_static! {
    static ref FINDER: DefaultFinder = DefaultFinder::new();
}

fn main() {
    print!("{:?}\n", FINDER.get_tz_name(116.3883, 39.9289));
    print!("{:?}\n", FINDER.get_tz_names(116.3883, 39.9289));
}

For reuse, racemap/rust-tz-service provides a good example.

A Redis protocol demo could be used here: ringsaturn/redizone.

The tzf-rs package is intended for high-performance geospatial query services, such as weather forecasting APIs. Most queries can be returned within a very short time, averaging around 3,000 nanoseconds (about 1,000ns slower than with Go repo tzf. I will continue improving this - you can track progress here).

Here is what has been done to improve performance:

1. Using pre-indexing to handle most queries takes approximately 1000 nanoseconds.
2. Using a finely-tuned Ray Casting algorithm package ringsaturn/geometry-rs to verify whether a polygon contains a point.

That's all. There are no black magic tricks inside the tzf-rs.

Below is a benchmark run on global cities(about 14K), and avg time is about 3,000 ns per query:

test benches_default::bench_default_finder_random_city ... bench:       2,870 ns/iter (+/- 182)

I have written an article about the history of tzf, its Rust port, and its Rust port's Python binding; you can view it here.

• Original Go repo: ringsaturn/tzf
• Binary timezone data: ringsaturn/tzf-rel
• Geometry: use ringsaturn/geometry-rs which is tidwall/geometry's Rust port.
• Continuous Benchmark compared with other packages: ringsaturn/tz-benchmark
