Provides a framework and implementations for extracting snippets of programming languages from files.

Aspirations

• Extensible over pedantic features
• Platform independent over platform optimized
• Reliable over performant

Feature flags

The main library, which enables consumers to plug their own implementations, is available by default. Features are most commonly used to enable support for languages, but other kinds of flags exist; see the table below for details.

Name	Description	Kind
lang-all	Enables all features that are of the kind "Language"	Language
lang-c99-tc3	Enables support for C99 TC3	Language
lang-cpp	Enables support for C++ 98.	Language
sha2-asm	Enables hardware acceleration for SHA2	Performance

Compatibility

FOSSA generally targets the latest releases of Rust, so there is no MSRV policy. Releases will generally use the latest Rust features.

If this becomes a problem, open an issue and we can talk it out!

Developing

Release process

• Check semver compatibility to choose the version to be released.
  • For example, on the feature branch you can run cargo semver-checks --baseline-rev main.
• Run cargo doc --open to validate the public API appears as you expect.
  • Note that this will show docs for dependency crates as well; just look at the snippets crate.
• Update changelog and merge the branch to main.
• Release the version by tagging it. cargo-release is recommended.
