## What it is
A Neovim plugin written in Lua that helps manage crates.io dependencies in Rust projects' Cargo.toml files. It provides completion, version updates, and dependency management directly in the editor.

## Use cases
- manage crates.io dependencies in neovim
- autocomplete crate versions in Cargo.toml
- update rust dependencies from editor
- nvim-cmp completion for cargo dependencies
- keep Cargo.toml versions up to date

## When to choose
- you edit Rust projects in Neovim and want in-editor crates.io dependency management
- you use nvim-cmp and want Cargo.toml completion
- you want to quickly upgrade or insert crate versions without leaving the editor

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor instead of Neovim
- you don't work with Rust or Cargo projects
- you prefer CLI tools like cargo-edit for dependency updates

## Facets

- function: developer-tools, package-manager, editor
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, programming-languages
