+The fast_float library provides fast header-only implementations for
+the C++ from_chars functions for float and double types. These
+functions convert ASCII strings representing decimal values (e.g.,
+1.3e10) into binary types. We provide exact rounding (including round
+to even). In our experience, these fast_float functions many times
+faster than comparable number-parsing functions from existing C++
+standard libraries.
