wayland-client

Client side API for the Wayland protocol. This crate provides infrastructure for manipulating Wayland objects, as well as object definitions for the core Wayland protocol. Protocol extensions can be supported as well by combining this crate with wayland-protocols, which provides object definitions for a large set of extensions.

See the crate-level documentation for usage explanations.

Note: This crate is a low-level interface to the Wayland protocol. If you are looking for a more battery-included toolkit for writing a Wayland client app, you may consider Smithay's Client Toolkit, which is built on top of it.
