Its README states that it can use the public LanguageTool API or a self-hosted LanguageTool server. The changelog shows rapid early CLI and library work in May 2022, including commands such as `ping`, JSON output, and automatic use of the online LanguageTool server. Version 2.0.0, dated 2023-02-07, expanded the project structure and related-project documentation. Version 3.0.0, dated 2025-09-17, was a breaking refactor that separated library and CLI modules and added support for custom file types including Markdown, HTML, and Typst. ### Adoption history LanguageTool-Rust sits in the Rust ecosystem as a typed client for a widely used proofreading server. Its adoption is niche but practical: developers can add grammar/style checking to Rust programs, while CLI users can query LanguageTool from scripts without writing API glue. ### How it is used The README documents `cargo install languagetool-rust --features full` and an `ltrs` CLI with commands such as `ping`, `languages`, and `check`. By default, the CLI uses the public LanguageTool API, while users can point it at their own server. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, LTRS is a bridge package: it wraps a Java-origin proofreading service in Rust library types and a small CLI. It is useful in editor, documentation, CI, and prose-checking workflows where LanguageTool is wanted without running the Java client directly. ### Timeline - 2022-05-16: Crate created on crates.io and early 0.0.x changelog entries began. - 2023-02-07: Version 2.0.0 documented a broader project cleanup and related-project work. - 2025-09-17: Version 3.0.0 introduced breaking CLI/library refactors and custom file-type support. - 2025-12-31: Version 3.0.1 bumped the minimum supported Rust version and fixed raw output behavior. ### Related projects - Related projects include LanguageTool itself, the LanguageTool public HTTP API, docs.rs, crates.io, and other Rust prose-checking tools that integrate grammar checks into documentation workflows. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** languagetool-rust - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - languagetool-rust: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/la/languagetool-rust/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [decasify](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/decasify/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [flickcurl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flickcurl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api-client, cli, developer-tools, libraries. - [hck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [sad](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sad/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [sd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [srgn](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/srgn/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [tuc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tuc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, text-processing. - [activemq-cpp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/activemq-cpp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, libraries. - [textidote](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/textidote/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
