Parser for Rust source code
Parser for Rust source code
Parser for Rust source code is a major Rust crate for parsing Rust source code (token streams) into a syntax tree (AST) that procedural macros can inspect or transform. The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only compile what you need. The documentation emphasises that while the crate is geared for procedural macros (and custom derives), some of the APIs may be of more general use. Using syn you can effectively write code that analyzes or generates Rust code at compile time. -

cuda-oxide
cuda-oxide is an experimental Rust-to-CUDA compiler
cuda-oxide is an experimental NVIDIA Labs project that brings Rust closer to native CUDA GPU development. It works as a Rust-to-CUDA compiler path that lets developers write SIMT GPU kernels in idiomatic Rust instead of using a separate CUDA C++ workflow. The project compiles standard Rust code directly to PTX, avoiding DSLs, source-to-source translation, or foreign-language bindings. It supports a single-source programming style where host and device code can live together and be built through Cargo-oriented tooling. cuda-oxide is still experimental, so it is best suited for research, early exploration, and developers interested in Rust-based GPU programming. Its main value is giving Rust developers a more direct path into NVIDIA GPU kernels while preserving familiar Rust syntax and tooling concepts. -

CXX
Safe interop between Rust and C++
CXX is a library that offers safe interop between Rust and C++. It provides a safe mechanism for calling C++ code from Rust and vice versa, one that is protected from the many possible things that can go wrong when bindgen or cbindgen is used to generate unsafe C-style bindings. The general idea of CXX is to define the signatures of both sides of the FFI boundary embedded together in one Rust module. CXX gets a complete picture from this of the boundary, and through it is able to perform static analyses against the types and function signatures, ensuring that both Rust's and C++'s invariants and requirements are upheld. CXX then emits the relevant extern "C" signatures on both sides through a pair of code generators. This is done together with any necessary static assertions needed for later in the build process to verify correctness. The result is an FFI bridge that operates at zero or negligible overhead, with no copying, serialization or memory allocation needed. -

Rust-Lightning
Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust
Rust-Lightning is a Bitcoin Lightning library written in Rust. The main crate, lightning, does not handle networking, persistence, or any other I/O. Thus, it is runtime-agnostic, but users must implement basic networking logic, chain interactions, and disk storage. The project implements all of the BOLT specifications in the 1.0 spec. The implementation has pretty good test coverage that is expected to continue to improve. It is also anticipated that as developers begin using the API, the lessons from that will result in changes to the API, so any developer using this API at this stage should be prepared to embrace that. LDK/Rust-Lightning is a generic library which allows you to build a lightning node without needing to worry about getting all of the lightning state machine, routing, and on-chain punishment code (and other chain interactions) exactly correct. Note that Rust-Lightning isn't, in itself, a node. -

hyper for Rust
An HTTP library for Rust
hyper is a fast HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. A Client for talking to web services. A Server for building those web services. Blazing fast thanks to Rust. High concurrency with non-blocking sockets. HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 support. hyper is a relatively low-level library, meant to be a building block for libraries and applications. If you are looking for a convenient HTTP client, then you may wish to consider reqwest. If you are looking for a convenient HTTP server, then you may wish to consider warp. Both are built on top of this library. A Service lets you define how to respond to incoming requests. While it is possible to implement the trait directly, there are a few patterns that are common when using Hyper. We’ve included some helpers for when these patterns fit our needs. An echo server will listen for incoming connections and send back the request body as the response body on POST requests. -

mdBook
Create books from markdown files
mdBook is a command line tool and Rust crate to create books with Markdown. The output resembles tools like Gitbook, and is ideal for creating product or API documentation, tutorials, course materials or anything that requires a clean, easily navigable and customizable presentation. mdBook is written in Rust; its performance and simplicity made it ideal for use as a tool to publish directly to hosted websites such as GitHub Pages via automation. This guide, in fact, serves as both the mdBook documentation and a fine example of what mdBook produces. mdBook includes built in support for both preprocessing your Markdown and alternative renderers for producing formats other than HTML. These facilities also enable other functionality such as validation. Searching Rust's crates.io is a great way to discover more extensions. -

Anyhow
Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
This is a Rust library (crate) that provides a flexible, concrete error type built atop the standard std::error::Error trait. Its primary goal is to make error handling in applications easy: instead of defining lots of custom error types, you can use anyhow::Error (or the alias anyhow::Result<T>) for fallible functions. The crate supports attaching context to errors, so you can convert a low-level error (like “file not found”) into one with richer diagnostics (“Failed to read instructions from path X”) using .context() or .with_context(). It supports downcasting (so you can inspect the underlying error type), and for recent versions of Rust, it will capture backtraces by default when the underlying error type doesn’t already. It also supports no_std mode (in limited form) by disabling default features. The README distinguishes it from library-oriented error crates (like thiserror): use anyhow when you just care about application-level error handling, not fine-grained types. -

DCV Color Primitives
DCV Color Primitives Library
DCV Color Primitives is a library to perform image color model conversion. Aware of the underlying hardware and supplemental cpu extension sets (up to avx2). Support data coming from a single buffer or coming from multiple image planes. Support non-tightly packed data. Support images greater than 4GB (64 bit). Convert an image from bgra to nv12 (single plane) format containing yuv in BT601. You might want to propagate errors to the caller function or mix with some other error types. So far, buffers were sized taking into account the image pixel format and dimensions; However, you can use a function to compute how many bytes are needed to store an image of a given format and size. If your data is scattered in multiple buffers that are not necessarily contiguous, you can provide image planes. To take into account data which is not tightly packed, you can provide image strides. -

Diom
Components platform for robust services
Diom is a backend components platform for building reliable, idiomatic services without repeatedly reimplementing common infrastructure pieces. It provides high-level APIs for service components such as caching, rate limiting, idempotency, queues, and other backend primitives. The project is designed to reduce boilerplate while keeping services robust, predictable, and production-friendly. It runs with zero runtime dependencies and uses its own storage, which makes deployment simpler than stitching together multiple external systems. Diom can operate as a single node or as a highly available cluster, depending on the service requirements. It is useful for backend developers who want reusable infrastructure components with clean APIs and fewer operational moving parts. -

LiteBox
A security-focused library OS supporting kernel execution
LiteBox is a security-focused “library OS” sandboxing project that aims to shrink the interface between an application and its host environment to reduce attack surface. Instead of relying solely on broad OS-level permissions, it focuses on isolating workloads by tightly controlling the boundary where code interacts with host services and system resources. The design emphasizes interoperability across different integration layers, describing a separation between “North” shims (how apps or runtimes plug in) and “South” platforms (where the sandbox runs), which helps the system adapt to multiple deployment contexts. A key aspect of the project is that it targets both kernel-mode and user-mode scenarios, enabling experimentation with different trust and performance tradeoffs. The repository positions LiteBox as a foundation for building hardened execution environments where untrusted or semi-trusted components can run with reduced privileges and a minimized host interface.
