A small Julia interface for vector-like objects.
VectorInterface.jl proposes a minimal, unified set of methods that any type representing an element of a vector space should support, so that generic algorithms (Krylov methods, ODE integrators, gradient optimizers, ...) can be written once and reused across Numbers, AbstractArrays, nested arrays, tuples, named tuples, and arbitrary user-defined types — without conflating vector-space operations with the iteration, container, or LinearAlgebra interfaces.

v = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
w = [4.0, 5.0, 6.0]
scalartype(v) # Float64
zerovector(v) # [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
scale!!(v, 2.0) # tries in place: [2.0, 4.0, 6.0]
add!!(v, w, 0.5) # v <- v + 0.5 * w
inner(v, w) # conjugate-linear inner product
norm(v) # re-exported from LinearAlgebraEvery mutating operation comes in three variants: f (allocating), f! (strict in-place), and f!! (try in-place, fall back to allocating), following the convention from BangBang.jl.
