A set of Rust crates implementing the Wayland display protocol for both client and server sides, including bindings to official protocol extensions. It offers a pure-Rust protocol backend as well as FFI bindings to the system Wayland libraries.
Use cases
- build a wayland compositor in rust
- create a native wayland client application
- integrate opengl rendering with wayland
- implement a custom wayland protocol extension
- load system cursor themes in a wayland app
When to choose
- you are writing Rust software that speaks the Wayland protocol, client or server side
- you need a pure-Rust Wayland implementation without linking C libraries
- you want bindings to official Wayland protocol extensions
When to avoid
- you are targeting X11 or Windows/macOS display systems
- you need a ready-made GUI toolkit rather than protocol bindings
- you work in a language other than Rust
