## What it is
Rust bindings for ROS 2, providing the rclrs client library, code generator, and examples for writing ROS 2 robotics applications in Rust. It supports publishers/subscriptions, services, actions, parameters, QoS, and async APIs.

## Use cases
- write ros2 nodes in rust
- rust bindings for ros 2
- build robotics applications with rust
- publish and subscribe to ros topics from rust
- implement ros2 services and actions in rust
- zero-copy messaging in ros2

## When to choose
- you want to develop ROS 2 nodes in Rust instead of C++ or Python
- you need async/await support for ROS 2 communication
- you want memory-safe robotics code with zero-copy messaging

## When to avoid
- you need full ROS 2 feature parity or API stability guarantees
- your project depends on libraries only available in C++ or Python
- you need long-term support for a production robotics stack

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, concurrency, logging, middleware
- domain: robotics, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: ros2, rclrs, robotics-framework, pub-sub, async, linux
