## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

cargo-public-api is a Cargo subcommand and companion tooling for listing and diffing the public API of Rust library crates.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in January 2022, and the crate appeared on crates.io in April 2022. The README explains that it builds rustdoc JSON and uses it to list public items or compare APIs across releases and commits.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The tool is packaged on crates.io and listed in Homebrew, Nix, and Arch package facts for this batch. crates.io classifies it as both a command-line utility and a Cargo plugin, reflecting its use from local terminals and CI.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The README shows cargo public-api for listing a crate API, cargo public-api diff for comparing against a published version, latest release, or commit range, and a CI pattern that snapshots API output to catch unintended public API changes.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Rust package maintainers use it to make semver review concrete: instead of manually scanning exported items, they can diff rustdoc-derived public API output and gate changes in CI.

### Zeitleiste

- 2022: GitHub repository created and first crates.io release published.
- 2025: README compatibility matrix tied releases to specific rustdoc JSON nightly ranges.
- 2026: crates.io reported v0.52.0 as the latest release.

### Related projects

- The project relies on rustdoc JSON from the Rust toolchain.
- The README recommends public-api, rustdoc-json, and rustup-toolchain crates for CI tests.
