metrics
Counted from the Cargo.toml manifests of the 185 indexed repositories that declare metrics as a dependency — not download counts. Dependency data last verified 2026-08-13.
Crates that show up unusually often in metrics projects. The most distinctive pairings rank first — crates these projects use far more than the average indexed Rust project does, not just crates that are popular everywhere. Each percentage is the share of metrics projects that also use it.
