A native PostgreSQL client library for Rust, offering both synchronous (postgres) and asynchronous (tokio-postgres) drivers. It includes supporting crates for Rust-Postgres type conversions and TLS integration via native-tls or openssl.

Use cases

• connect to postgres from rust
• async postgresql queries with tokio
• run sql statements in a rust application
• tls-encrypted postgres connections in rust
• map postgres types to rust types

When to choose

• you need a native, dependency-light PostgreSQL driver in Rust
• you want async database access integrated with the Tokio ecosystem
• you need fine-grained control over queries without a full ORM

When to avoid

• you want an ORM with migrations and model relations (consider Diesel or SeaORM)
• you need a database-agnostic driver that works across multiple databases
• your project uses a different language than Rust
