Passively Maintained

The original author will spend their effort helping to maintain x11rb instead of this crate. Bugs will still be fixed; however new features will not be added.

breadx

An implementation of the X Window System Protocol in Rust, with an emphasis on comprehensability and usability.

Advantages

• breadx is simple and direct. There is very little between you and the protocol.
• Without the sync_display feature, breadx uses no synchronization primitives, eliminating one of the primary causes of deadlocking.
• breadx is written in 100% safe code.
• breadx is able to be no_std and be used without the standard library.
• Runtime-independent async support may be enabled using the async feature.
• API is designed to be able to be used everywhere.

Disadvantages

• On its own, breadx is not compatible with libraries that use lixcb or Xlib. Consider using whitebreadx if this is important.
• breadx provides no utility or helper functions beyond the requests that go on the wire.

Tutorials/Examples

For tutorials and examples of breadx's usage, check out the docs.

MSRV

The current MSRV for breadx with all features enabled is 1.49.0. This is largely tied to tokio's MSRV, and with fewer features enabled breadx is likely to work on Rust versions as low as 1.46.0 (although this is never guaranteed). The MSRV will not be changed without either a major or minor version bump.
