semver

Semantic versioning — parsing, comparison, and constraint matching.

What it is

semver parses and compares version strings following the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification. It supports version comparison, sorting, and range constraints (^1.0, >=2.0 <3.0) as used in Cargo.toml dependency specifications.

Why it is commonly used

Used in build tools, package managers, update checkers, and any code that compares or resolves software versions. Cargo itself uses this crate for dependency resolution and version constraint evaluation.
