# flex-alloc
`flex-alloc` provides highly flexible container types (currently `Box`, `Cow`, and `Vec`) which mimic the API provided in `std`, with allocation flexibility going beyond what is supported by unstable features such as `allocator-api`.
Both `no-std` and `no-alloc` environments are supported.
The `flex-alloc-secure` crate adds data types for working with security-sensitive data such as cryptographic keys.
See the API documentation:
- [`flex-alloc`](https://docs.rs/flex-alloc)
- [`flex-alloc-secure`](https://docs.rs/flex-alloc-secure)
## `flex-alloc` highlights
- Optional `alloc` support, such that application may easily alternate between fixed buffers and heap allocation.
- Custom allocator implementations, including the ability to spill from a small stack allocation to a heap allocation.
- Additional fallible update methods, allowing for more ergonomic fixed size collections and handling of allocation errors.
- `const` initializers.
- Support for inline collections.
- Custom index types and growth behavior to manage memory usage.
## `flex-alloc-secure` highlights
- Collection types for working with secured allocations, using multiple levels of protections: memory locking (`mlock`/`VirtualLock`), memory protection (`mprotect`/`VirtualProtect`), and encryption at rest.
- Secure stack variables for working with sensitive data.
