Docs.rs
Documentation host for Rust crates
Docs.rs is an open source documentation host for crates published to crates.io, the package registry for the Rust programming language. It provides a central place to read API documentation for Rust libraries, with a homepage that lists recently released crates alongside their version numbers, short summaries, and publication times. Newly published crates may wait in a queue before their documentation is built and made available.
The service builds documentation for each crate and exposes it through versioned URLs, with semantic versioning used for redirections. It also supports badges that can be embedded in other projects, and allows metadata configuration for builds. Documentation pages may include JavaScript, such as KaTeX rendering, though support is not guaranteed; JavaScript used for visitor tracking is prohibited, and affected versions may be removed. The source code is hosted on GitHub, and the project is maintained by the Docs.rs team, who can be reached through the #t-docs-rs channel on Zulip.
