rust-mysql-simple
A pure Rust MySQL client library with connection pooling, prepared statements, and TLS support.
What is rust-mysql-simple?
mysql is a MySQL and MariaDB client library written entirely in Rust. It enables Rust applications to connect to, query, and manage MySQL databases with support for both text and binary protocols, connection pooling, and secure TLS connections. It solves the need for a safe, performant, and native database driver in the Rust ecosystem.
Rust developers building applications that require MySQL/MariaDB database connectivity, particularly those who need a pure Rust solution without C dependencies for safety and cross-compilation.
Developers choose mysql for its memory safety guarantees, comprehensive feature set (including connection pooling and prepared statements), and seamless integration with Rust's type system, offering a robust alternative to C-based bindings.
