history
Project history and usage
rustledger is a Rust implementation of Beancount-compatible double-entry accounting and query tooling. It combines a command-line checker and reporting tools with importing, editor integration, and WebAssembly support.
Project history
rustledger was developed as a modern, high-performance implementation of Beancount in Rust. Its official documentation positions it as a compatible replacement that adds a single-binary distribution, a language server, browser-capable WebAssembly builds, import pipelines, and a Beancount Query Language implementation.
Adoption history
The official site distributes rustledger through Cargo, Homebrew, Nix, Fedora COPR, the Arch User Repository, Scoop, Docker, npm, and downloadable binaries. This broad packaging approach makes the project accessible across conventional system, language, container, and JavaScript package ecosystems.
How it is used
Users validate, query, report on, format, and import plain-text Beancount ledgers with the rledger command. Reusable bank-import profiles can be stored in importers.toml, and the bundled language server supports diagnostics and completion in editors.
Why package nerds care
rustledger is notable as a single-binary, Rust-native entrant in the plain-text-accounting ecosystem. Its emphasis on Beancount compatibility, reproducible installation, editor tooling, WebAssembly, and multiple package channels illustrates how established text formats can acquire modern implementations without forcing users to migrate their data.
Timeline
- Modern implementation: The project established Beancount-compatible accounting and BQL behavior in a Rust workspace.
- Expanded tooling: The project added LSP, import and categorization facilities, plugins, WebAssembly support, and multi-channel binary distribution.
Related projects
- Beancount is the principal compatibility target. The documentation also provides migration guidance for Ledger and hledger, while rustfava supplies a related web interface in the rustledger project family.
