anyhow

What problem does it solve?

Flexible error handling in Rust often requires wrapping errors with context and propagating them through call chains. anyhow provides a single, ergonomic error type that can be used in applications and binaries to simplify error management.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Contextual error messages added via .context(...) and .with_context(...)
• Error chaining and dynamic error types with anyhow::Error
• Optional backtraces when the backtrace feature is enabled; easy to convert between error types
• Use in main function error handling and propagate errors across modules

Quick Start

Install anyhow via cargo add anyhow and start using anyhow::Result to propagate errors with contextual messages.
