nvim-oxi is a Rust crate providing safe, idiomatic, fully typed bindings to the Neovim editor's API via FFI rather than RPC. It is aimed primarily at Neovim plugin authors who want to write plugins in Rust with compile-time checked APIs.

Use cases

• write neovim plugins in rust
• create a neovim plugin with a fully typed api
• hook rust code directly into neovim via ffi
• test rust code inside a running neovim instance
• write my neovim config in rust
• avoid messagepack rpc overhead when scripting neovim

When to choose

• you want to develop Neovim plugins in Rust with type-safe access to the editor API
• you need feature parity with in-process Lua plugins, such as keymap callbacks and scheduling
• you want to leverage the Rust crate ecosystem inside Neovim plugins

When to avoid

• you are fine writing plugins in Lua or Vimscript and don't need Rust
• you need a plugin that works with plain Vim rather than Neovim
• you want a simple RPC-based external integration rather than a compiled FFI module
