Legion is a high-performance Entity Component System (ECS) library for Rust, designed for game projects with minimal boilerplate. It provides worlds, entities, components, and expressive high-performance queries for bulk data access.

Use cases

• build a game in Rust with an entity component system architecture
• manage thousands of game entities with position and velocity components
• run parallel systems over component data efficiently
• query and iterate entities by their component types
• prototype game logic without heavy boilerplate

When to choose

• you are writing a Rust game or simulation and want a feature-rich, performant ECS
• you want minimal boilerplate when defining components and systems
• you need expressive queries and parallel iteration over entities

When to avoid

• you need a full game engine with rendering, audio, and asset management (consider Bevy or Amethyst)
• you need a library under very active development, as the latest release dates to late 2021
• your project is not written in Rust
