stdx is a curated meta-crate collecting the best-known Rust crates ('the missing batteries of Rust'), bundling libraries like serde, regex, rayon, and clap into one dependency. The project is explicitly unmaintained, with rustmax suggested as its successor.

Use cases

  • find the best rust crates for common tasks
  • bootstrap a rust project with recommended libraries
  • learn which crates to use as a rust beginner
  • get serialization, regex, and http in one dependency

When to choose

  • you want a historical snapshot of the recommended Rust ecosystem circa 2017
  • you are exploring what crates exist and why they are recommended

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - it is unmaintained and pins 2017-era crate versions
  • you need current versions - use rustmax or pick crates individually
