What problem does it solve?
Crossterm provides a unified, cross-platform Rust API for building TUI and CLI applications with precise cursor control, styling, and robust input handling across Windows and UNIX systems.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cursor control: absolute/relative positioning and visibility management for dynamic UIs.
- Styling and color: rich ANSI styling plus RGB/256-color support for expressive terminals.
- Event handling: polls and reads keyboard/mouse/resize/focus events for interactive apps.
- Terminal control: alternate screen, raw mode, and batch updates to minimize flicker.
Quick Start
Install the crate and run a minimal example that enables raw mode, moves the cursor, and prints styled text.
