eyre is a Rust library providing eyre::Report, a trait-object based error handling type for idiomatic error handling and reporting in applications. It is a fork of anyhow that supports customizable error report handlers via companion crates like color-eyre.

Use cases

• handle errors idiomatically in Rust applications
• capture backtraces and span traces with error reports
• customize how error reports are formatted and printed
• attach help messages and suggestions to errors
• replace anyhow with a more flexible error reporting type

When to choose

• you are building a Rust application (not a library with external users) and want ergonomic error handling
• you want rich, customizable error reports with backtraces and span traces
• you like anyhow's ergonomics but need pluggable report handlers

When to avoid

• you are writing a library whose public API should expose concrete error types
• you need a minimal dependency with no error reporting features
• you require API stability guarantees across major version bumps
