CREV is a recommendation system for establishing trust in open-source code.

Cargo-crev is the review system for Rust crates on crates.io.

You can read existing code reviews on https://web.crev.dev/rust-reviews/.

​

Your personal reviews are the most important.

You want to know that the dependencies your program is using are not malicious or unsound.

Ideally, you want to personally review every crate in you dependencies.

If you have a boss, he will sooner or later ask you to show your reviews for all that dependencies.

With the application cargo\_crev\_reviews you have a basic tool to do that.
