Problem

How to use the cargo metadata command: Output the workspace members and resolved dependencies of current package as JSON. Note: The output format is subject to change in future versions of Cargo. More information: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-metadata.html>.

Solution

cargo metadata — Output the workspace members and resolved dependencies of current package as JSON. Note: The output format is subject to change in future versions of Cargo. More information: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-metadata.html>.

Print the workspace members and resolved dependencies of the current package:

cargo metadata

Print only the workspace members and do not fetch dependencies:

cargo metadata --no-deps

Print metadata in a specific format based on the specified version:

cargo metadata --format-version {{version}}

Print metadata with the resolve field including dependencies only for the given target triple (Note: The packages array will still include the dependencies for all targets):

cargo metadata --filter-platform {{target_triple}}
