Announcement
windows-rs: The Rust Project for Windows
Rust for Windows: Enabling access to the entire Windows API with type safety and performance.
Project Introduction
Summary
The windows-rs project is a Rust language projection for the Windows API. It allows Rust developers to call any Windows API past, present, and future, providing access to the entire Windows ecosystem directly from Rust code.
Problem Solved
Accessing the vast and complex Windows API from Rust typically requires manual, unsafe FFI bindings. This project automatically generates safe, idiomatic Rust bindings, simplifying development and reducing errors.
Core Features
Complete API Coverage
Provides comprehensive, projection-generated bindings for the entire Windows API.
Type-Safe Bindings
Leverages Rust's type system to offer memory safety and thread safety when calling Windows APIs.
High Performance
Zero-cost abstractions ensure performance comparable to calling C/C++ APIs directly.
Tech Stack
使用场景
The windows-rs crate can be used in a wide range of scenarios where direct interaction with the Windows operating system is required.
场景一：开发原生 Windows 桌面应用
Details
Build native Windows GUI applications using frameworks like WinUI or classic Win32 APIs directly from Rust.
User Value
Leverage Rust's performance and safety while building applications with a native Windows look and feel.
场景二：构建系统级工具和服务
Details
Create system utilities, services, or low-level tools that interact closely with the Windows kernel or other system components.
User Value
Develop robust and reliable system software with fine-grained control over Windows functionalities.
场景三：与其他 Windows 技术栈集成
Details
Integrate Rust code with existing C++, C#, or other COM-based components and applications.
User Value
Enable seamless interoperability between Rust and the broader Windows development ecosystem.
