Minimal Rust

This is a list of Rust libraries which have zero, one, or two total dependencies with default-features = false, as reported by cargo tree.

Some of these trade dependencies for completeness, meaning they have a limited amount of features compared to their more well-known cousins, while some of these are the more well-known cousins and are listed because they already have minimal dependencies, like memchr.

For a great list of major Rust crates without any pedantry around dependencies:

The List

One dependency

Two dependencies

† Dependency count is determined by running cargo tree on an empty project with the crate included with default-features = false. Specifically running make count CRATE=<name> from the root of this repo.
