Fountain Library Project

The fountain library project is a collection of Rust crates for building and analyzing fountain codes and related erasure-coding schemes. It provides a reusable engine for encoding and decoding, code schemes (LT and Raptor-style codes), and utilities for testing and benchmarking.

Published Crates

• fountain_engine — Core fountain code engine
  Crates.io · GitHub
• fountain_utility — Data operators and testing utilities
  Crates.io · GitHub
• fountain_scheme — Configurable schemes (LT, LDPC-LT, HDPC-LT, systematic) on fountain_engine
  Crates.io · GitHub

Additional crates (raptor_10, raptor_q) may be published as the ecosystem evolves.
