A deprecated Rust library for error management, providing the Fail trait and Error struct to simplify defining and handling custom error types. It has been superseded by anyhow and thiserror.
Use cases
- manage errors in rust applications
- define custom error types with derive macros
- wrap multiple error sources into one error type
- replace std::error::Error boilerplate
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy codebase already using failure
When to avoid
- starting a new rust project
- you want an actively maintained error library
- you need modern std error trait support
