NAME
cargo-metadata - Machine-readable metadata about the current package
SYNOPSIS
cargo metadata [options]
DESCRIPTION
Output JSON to stdout containing information about the workspace members and resolved dependencies of the current package.
It is recommended to include the --format-version flag to future-proof
your code to ensure the output is in the format you are expecting.
See the cargo_metadata crate for a Rust API for reading the metadata.
OUTPUT FORMAT
The output has the following format:
{
/* Array of all packages in the workspace.
It also includes all feature-enabled dependencies unless --no-deps is used.
*/
"packages": [
{
/* The name of the package. */
"name": "my-package",
/* The version of the package. */
"version": "0.1.0",
/* The Package ID, a unique identifier for referring to the package. */
"id": "my-package 0.1.0 (path+file:///path/to/my-package)",
/* The license value from the manifest, or null. */
"license": "MIT/Apache-2.0",
/* The license-file value from the manifest, or null. */
"license_file": "LICENSE",
/* The description value from the manifest, or null. */
"description": "Package description.",
/* The source ID of the package. This represents where
a package is retrieved from.
This is null for path dependencies and workspace members.
For other dependencies, it is a string with the format:
- "registry+URL" for registry-based dependencies.
Example: "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index"
- "git+URL" for git-based dependencies.
Example: "git+https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo?rev=5e85ba14aaa20f8133863373404cb0af69eeef2c#5e85ba14aaa20f8133863373404cb0af69eeef2c"

OPTIONS
Output Options
{{#options}}
{{#option "--no-deps" }}
Output information only about the workspace members and don't fetch
dependencies.
{{/option}}
{{#option "--format-version version" }}
Specify the version of the output format to use. Currently 1 is the only
possible value.
{{/option}}
{{#option "--filter-platform triple" }}
This filters the resolve output to only include dependencies for the
given target triple.
Without this flag, the resolve includes all targets.
Note that the dependencies listed in the "packages" array still includes all
dependencies. Each package definition is intended to be an unaltered
reproduction of the information within Cargo.toml.
