About:
cargo-deps is a Cargo subcommand that generates visual dependency graphs for Rust projects. It analyzes your Cargo.toml and lock files to create dot files that can be rendered into diagrams. This tool helps developers understand complex dependency relationships and identify potential issues.
Key Features:
  • Generates GraphViz DOT format dependency graphs
  • Supports filtering by dependency types (normal, build, dev)
  • Integrates directly with Cargo as a subcommand
  • Can output to various formats via GraphViz
Use Cases:
  • Visualizing dependency complexity in large Rust projects
  • Identifying circular dependencies or dependency bloat
  • Documentation generation for project architecture
Alternatives:
  • cargo-tree – cargo-tree shows text-based dependency trees while cargo-deps creates visual graphs
  • cargo-graph – Similar purpose but cargo-deps is more actively maintained and has better feature support
