## Introduction

This repository contains the core engine used in [Meilisearch].

It contains a library that can manage one and only one index. Meilisearch
manages the multi-index itself. Milli is unable to store updates in a store:
it is the job of something else above and this is why it is only able
to process one update at a time.

This repository contains crates to quickly debug the engine:
 - There are benchmarks located in the `benchmarks` crate.
 - The `cli` crate is a simple command-line interface that helps run [flamegraph] on top of it.
 - The `filter-parser` crate contains the parser for the Meilisearch filter syntax.
 - The `flatten-serde-json` crate contains the library that flattens serde-json `Value` objects like elastic search does.
 - The `helpers` crate is only used to do operations on the database.
 - The `http-ui` crate is a simple HTTP dashboard to tests the features like for real!
 - The `infos` crate is used to dump the internal data-structure and ensure correctness.
 - The `json-depth-checker` crate is used to indicate if a JSON must be flattened.
