core-foundation-rs
Rust bindings to Apple's Core Foundation and other low-level macOS/iOS libraries.
What is core-foundation-rs?
core-foundation-rs is a Rust library that provides safe bindings to Apple's Core Foundation framework and other low-level system libraries on macOS and iOS. It allows Rust applications to interact with Apple's native APIs for tasks like memory management, data handling, and system services while maintaining Rust's safety guarantees. The project solves the problem of accessing Apple's C-based APIs from Rust in a way that prevents common memory errors and integrates well with Rust's ecosystem.
Rust developers building applications or libraries that need to interact with macOS or iOS system APIs, particularly those working on cross-platform tools, system utilities, or applications targeting Apple platforms.
Developers choose core-foundation-rs because it provides safe, idiomatic Rust interfaces to Apple's APIs, reducing the risk of memory errors and undefined behavior compared to raw FFI. It offers configurable version compatibility and is maintained as part of the Servo project ecosystem, ensuring reliability and ongoing development.
