rustdoc-JSON: An Alternative Backend for Rustdoc

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

rustdoc-JSON is an alternative backend to rustdoc that produces a JSON description of an API instead of rustdoc's average HTML output.

This talk will go over the history of rustdoc-JSON, the current design of the format and why it is how it is, and the path to stability.

The talk will also look at the implementation and the challenges of adding a backend for machines into software designed to produce output for humans.

Finally, the talk will highlight some cool projects built on top of rustdoc JSON and discuss the path to stability.
