Vello API

Public API types

This crate defines the public API types for the Vello rendering. It provides common interfaces and data structures used across different implementations, including CPU, GPU, and hybrid rendering backends.

Features

• Shared API types for Vello's rendering pipeline.
• Interfaces for render contexts and rendering options.
• Designed for compatibility across CPU and GPU implementations.

Usage

This crate is intended to be used by other Vello components and external consumers needing a stable API.

Minimum supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This version of Vello API has been verified to compile with Rust 1.85 and later.

Future versions of Vello API might increase the Rust version requirement. It will not be treated as a breaking change and as such can even happen with small patch releases.

As time has passed, some of Vello API‘s dependencies could have released versions with a higher Rust requirement. If you encounter a compilation issue due to a dependency and don’t want to upgrade your Rust toolchain, then you could downgrade the dependency.

# Use the problematic dependency's name and version
cargo update -p package_name --precise 0.1.1
