confy is a Rust library providing zero-boilerplate configuration management, loading and saving app config structs to platform-appropriate locations with a single function call. It supports TOML by default with optional YAML and RON formats via feature flags.

Use cases

• load app configuration in a Rust CLI with one line
• store user settings in the correct OS config directory
• persist config as TOML, YAML, or RON
• avoid boilerplate for reading and writing config files
• create default config files automatically on first run

When to choose

• you want simple, opinionated config handling in a Rust app
• you need cross-platform config file locations without writing path logic
• you prefer convention over configuration for small-to-medium apps

When to avoid

• you need complex, multi-file or hierarchical configuration
• you require custom config formats or storage backends
• you need environment-variable or remote config management
