## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: configuration-management, serialization
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: rust, windows, cross-platform
- tags: config-files, toml, yaml, ron, xdg, zero-boilerplate, command-line, linux, macos
