## Windows collection types
The [windows-collections](https://crates.io/crates/windows-collections) crate provides stock collection support for Windows APIs.
* [Getting started](https://kennykerr.ca/rust-getting-started/)
* [Samples](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/tree/master/crates/samples)
* [Releases](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/releases)
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies.windows-collections]
version = "0.1"
```
Use the Windows collection types as needed:
```rust
use windows_collections::*;
let numbers = IIterable::<i32>::from(vec![1, 2, 3]);
for value in numbers {
println!("{value}");
}
```
Naturally, the Windows collection types work with other Windows crates:
```rust
use windows_collections::*;
use windows_result::*;
use windows_strings::*;
fn main() -> Result<()> {
let greetings =
IVectorView::<HSTRING>::from(vec![HSTRING::from("hello"), HSTRING::from("world")]);
for value in greetings {
println!("{value}");
}
let map = std::collections::BTreeMap::from([("one".into(), 1), ("two".into(), 2)]);
let map = IMapView::<HSTRING, i32>::from(map);
assert_eq!(map.Lookup(h!("one"))?, 1);
assert_eq!(map.Lookup(h!("two"))?, 2);
Ok(())
}
```
