## What it is
gdext provides Rust bindings for the Godot 4 game engine, letting developers write game logic and engine extensions in Rust via GDExtension. It is the successor to the gdnative project and is developed under the godot-rust organization.

## Use cases
- write godot games in rust
- create godot 4 gdextension modules in rust
- use rust for game scripting in godot
- build high-performance game logic with rust in godot
- integrate rust libraries into a godot project

## When to choose
- you want to build a Godot 4 game or extension in Rust
- you need performance-critical game code with memory safety
- you prefer Rust's tooling and ecosystem for game development

## When to avoid
- you are targeting Godot 3 (use gdnative instead)
- you want a pure GDScript workflow without native extensions
- you need a fully stable, guaranteed API - the bindings still evolve with Godot 4

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, sdk, plugin-system
- domain: cross-platform
- platform: rust, cross-platform, game-engine
- tags: godot, gamedev, bindings, gdextension, godot-4, game-development
