Crate rustfix

Library for applying diagnostic suggestions to source code.

This is a low-level library. You pass it the JSON output from rustc, and you can then use it to apply suggestions to in-memory strings. This library doesn’t execute commands, or read or write from the filesystem.

If you are looking for the cargo fix implementation, the core of it is located in cargo::ops::fix.

The general outline of how to use this library is:

1. Call rustc and collect the JSON data.
2. Pass the json data to get_suggestions_from_json.
3. Create a CodeFix with the source of a file to modify.
4. Call CodeFix::apply to apply a change.
5. Call CodeFix::finish to get the result and write it back to disk.

This crate is maintained by the Cargo team, primarily for use by Cargo and Rust compiler test suite and not intended for external use (except as a transitive dependency). This crate may make major changes to its APIs or be deprecated without warning.
