blessed.rs - Recommended Crate Directory

Summary

Recommended Crate Directory The standard library in Rust is not "batteries included", excluding functionality like HTTP(S), JSON, timezones, random numbers, and async IO.

Preferable if covers your needs, but it's quite limited in what it provides.chrono[docs]The most comprehensive and full-featured datetime library, but more complex because of it.Regular Expressionsregex[docs]De facto standard regex library.
