## What it is
A Rust library implementing an Ethereum JSON-RPC client with multiple transports (HTTP, IPC, WebSockets), analogous to web3.js. It provides typed APIs for eth, net, and personal namespaces plus contract ABI interaction.

## Use cases
- query ethereum account balances from rust
- interact with ethereum smart contracts in rust
- connect to an ethereum node over json-rpc
- subscribe to ethereum events via websockets
- deploy solidity contracts from a rust application

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight rust ethereum rpc client with http, ipc, or websocket transports
- you are maintaining an existing project already built on this crate

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the maintainer recommends ethers-rs instead
- you need actively developed features like websocket reconnection or trace apis

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, websocket, rpc, sdk
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: ethereum, web3, json-rpc, smart-contracts, async, cryptocurrency
