https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-badges-section
crates.io previously displayed badges next to a crate on its website, but that functionality has been removed. Packages should place badges in its README file which will be displayed on crates.io
-
actively-developed: New features are being added and bugs are being fixed. -
passively-maintained: There are no plans for new features, but the maintainer intends to respond to issues that get filed. -
as-is: The crate is feature complete, the maintainer does not intend to continue working on it or providing support, but it works for the purposes it was designed for. -
experimental: The author wants to share it with the community but is not intending to meet anyone's particular use case. -
looking-for-maintainer: The current maintainer would like to transfer the crate to someone else. -
deprecated: The maintainer does not recommend using this crate (the description of the crate can describe why, there could be a better solution available or there could be problems with the crate that the author does not want to fix).
