# Balanced brackets
Implement the library file **`src/lib.rs`** exposing:
```rust
pub fn is_balanced(input: &str) -> bool
```
Return `true` if and only if the brackets `()`, `[]`, and `{}` in `input` are
correctly balanced and nested. Every opening bracket must be closed by a matching
closing bracket in the right order. Any closing bracket must match the most
recently opened, still-unclosed bracket.
- Non-bracket characters are ignored.
- The empty string is balanced (returns `true`).
Examples:
- `is_balanced("")` โ `true`
- `is_balanced("()[]{}")` โ `true`
- `is_balanced("([{}])")` โ `true`
- `is_balanced("(a + [b * c]) - {d}")` โ `true`
- `is_balanced("(]")` โ `false`
- `is_balanced("([)]")` โ `false`
- `is_balanced("(")` โ `false`
- `is_balanced(")(")` โ `false`
Tests live in `tests/` and call it as `challenge::is_balanced`.

System prompt
You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.
Proposed solution
```rust
pub fn is_balanced(input: &str) -> bool {
let mut stack = Vec::new();
let mut bracket_pairs = std::collections::HashMap::new();
bracket_pairs.insert(')', '(');
bracket_pairs.insert(']', '[');
bracket_pairs.insert('}', '{');
for c in input.chars() {
if c == '(' || c == '[' || c == '{' {
stack.push(c);
} else if let Some(&expected) = bracket_pairs.get(&c) {
if stack.pop() != Some(expected) {
return false;
}
}
}
stack.is_empty()
}
