Escargot: A Cargo API

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).

Relevant crates

Other related crates:

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

Example

escargot::CargoBuild::new()
    .bin("bin_fixture")
    .current_release()
    .current_target()
    .exec()
    .unwrap();
