Crate escargot

Escargot: A Cargo API

Install

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
escargot = "0.4"

Features:

• print for logged output to be printed instead, generally for test writing.

Why escargot

Compared to depending on cargo:

• Faster compile times.
• Simpler API.
• Better interop with projects relying on other cargo versions.
• Probably slower execution, especially on platforms without an optimized fork (e.g. Windows).

• cargo for the real thing
• cargo-metadata for a similar project specifically geared to the metadata subcommand.
