What is cargo-doc

Cargo is a tool that allows Rust projects to declare their various dependencies, and ensure that you’ll always get a repeatable build.

To accomplish this goal, Cargo does four things:

  • Introduces two metadata files with various bits of project information.
  • Fetches and builds your project’s dependencies.
  • Invokes rustc or another build tool with the correct parameters to build your project.
  • Introduces conventions, making working with Rust projects easier.

Cargo downloads your Rust project??s dependencies and compiles your project.
