Overview of this book

Mozilla’s Rust is gaining much attention with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will take you through varied recipes to teach you how to leverage the Standard library to implement efficient solutions. The book begins with a brief look at the basic modules of the Standard library and collections. From here, the recipes will cover packages that support file/directory handling and interaction through parsing. You will learn about packages related to advanced data structures, error handling, and networking. You will also learn to work with futures and experimental nightly features. The book also covers the most relevant external crates in Rust. By the end of the book, you will be proficient at using the Rust Standard library.

Introduction

So far, we have primarily looked at techniques that were all useful in their own right. Of course, we are continuing that trend, but the recipes shown in this chapter truly shine when combined with other code. You can imagine them as the glue holding a nice Rust program together, as they are primarily oriented toward new enabling ways in which different components of your crate can work together.
