# cargo_metadata

Structured access to the output of `cargo metadata`. Usually used from within a `cargo-*` executable.

Also supports serialization to aid in implementing `--message-format=json`-like
output generation in `cargo-*` subcommands, since some of the types in what
`cargo --message-format=json` emits are exactly the same as the ones from `cargo metadata`.
