## What it is
prettytable-rs is a Rust library for printing aligned and formatted tables to the terminal, with styling, colors, slicing, and CSV import/export support. It is distributed as a crate on crates.io and integrates with evcxr notebooks.

## Use cases
- print aligned tables in a Rust CLI
- format tabular output with colors and styles
- export table data as CSV from Rust
- import CSV data into a formatted table
- display query results in a terminal app

## When to choose
- you need pretty ASCII table output in a Rust program
- you want simple terminal table formatting with macros and styling
- you need CSV import/export alongside table printing

## When to avoid
- you need rich TUI interfaces rather than static tables
- you are not working in Rust
- you need HTML or GUI table rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: rust, cli, cross-platform
- tags: tables, terminal-output, formatting, csv, command-line
