winapi-rs is a Rust crate providing raw FFI bindings to the Windows API, hand-gathered from the Windows 10 SDK. It is a no-op on non-Windows platforms and supports no_std usage.

Use cases

  • call Win32 functions from Rust
  • write Windows applications in Rust without C
  • access Windows API structs and constants from Rust
  • build no_std Windows programs
  • replace hand-written Windows FFI declarations in Rust crates

When to choose

  • you need raw, low-level access to the Windows API from Rust
  • you want comprehensive Win32 bindings with feature-gated modules
  • you are writing a no_std Rust program targeting Windows

When to avoid

  • you want safe, idiomatic Rust wrappers rather than raw unsafe bindings
  • you are targeting non-Windows platforms only
  • you prefer the newer official windows/windows-rs crates for modern development
