Luis Lavena e0ef8d83da Correctly split named parameters on tree insert
Our Radix implementation was literally considering every single
character as candidate for splitting, which caused keys that
contained named parameters markers (`:foo`) to be broken across
nodes:

    tree = Radix::Tree.new
    tree.add "/", :root
    tree.add "/:post", :post
    tree.add "/:category/:post", :category_post
    # /
    #  :
    #   post
    #   category/:post

This caused incorrect behavior when performing lookup (`Tree#find`)
and failing to detect and map the key name, even when the value
was properly captured:

    result = tree.find "/example"
    pp result.found? # => false

This change corrects the issue by identifying named parameter marker
and once detected, consider everything until a separator or the end
of the supplied string is reached to be a unique key:

    tree = Radix::Tree.new
    tree.add "/", :root
    tree.add "/:post", :post
    tree.add "/:category/:post", :category_post
    # /
    #  :category/:post
    #  :post

However, due how Radix tree is structured, two named parameters at the
same level might result in problems during lookup phase:

    tree = Radix::Tree.new
    tree.add "/", :root
    tree.add "/:post", :post
    tree.add "/:category/:post", :category_post
    # /
    #  :category/:post
    #  :post

    tree.root.sort!
    # /
    #  :post
    #  :category/:post

    result = tree.find "/example"
    pp result.found? # => false
    pp result.params # => {"post" => "example"}

    result = tree.find "/news/first-post"
    pp result.found? # => false
    pp result.params # => {"post" => "news"}

Causing lookup to fail and values be stored under incorrect keys
for the parameters.

Because of this, a deprecation warning will be shown to allow
users adjust and correct their code prior fully removing it and
raise error (you know, semantic versioning and all that jazz).

This fixes #5 and closes #4

Radix Tree

Build Status docrystal.org

Radix tree implementation for Crystal language

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  radix:
    github: luislavena/radix

Usage

You can associate a payload with each path added to the tree:

require "radix"

tree = Radix::Tree.new
tree.add "/products", :products
tree.add "/products/featured", :featured

result = tree.find "/products/featured"

if result.found?
  puts result.payload # => :featured
end

You can also extract values from placeholders (as named segments or globbing):

tree.add "/products/:id", :product

result = tree.find "/products/1234"

if result.found?
  puts result.params["id"]? # => "1234"
end

Please see Radix::Tree#add documentation for more usage examples.

Implementation

This project has been inspired and adapted from julienschmidt/httprouter and spriet2000/vertx-http-router Go and Java implementations, respectively.

Changes to logic and optimizations have been made to take advantage of Crystal's features.
