after adding it to your project's dependencies (eg, `cargo add julid-rs`; the package name is
"julid-rs", but the library name as used in your `use` statements is just "julid"). By default, it
will also include trait implementations for using Julids with
[SQLx](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx), and serializing/deserializing with
[Serde](https://serde.rs/), via the `sqlx` and `serde` features, respectively. One final default
optional feature, `chrono`, uses the Chrono crate to return the timestamp as a
[`DateTime`](https://docs.rs/chrono/latest/chrono/struct.DateTime.html) by adding a `created_at(&self)`
method to `Julid`.

[example](https://gitlab.com/nebkor/julid/-/blob/main/examples/benchmark.rs) in the repo.
Something to note: don't enable the `plugin` feature in your Cargo.toml if you're using this crate
inside your Rust application, *especially* if you're also loading it as an extension in SQLite in
your application. You'll get a long and confusing runtime panic due to there being multiple
entrypoints defined with the same name.
## Safety
There is one `unsafe fn` in this project, `sqlite_julid_init()`, and it is only built for the
`plugin` feature. The reason for it is that it's interacting with foreign code (SQLite itself) via
the C interface, which is inherently unsafe. If you are not building the plugin, there is no
`unsafe` code.
