What is rclap in Rust?

rclap is a configuration library that generates Rust structs from TOML files at compile time, ensuring no drift between config and code while supporting env vars and docs.

How does rclap differ from clap?

Clap is CLI-focused with manual structs; rclap reads TOML as truth, auto-gens code for compile-time safety, perfect for DevOps handoffs.

Is rclap good for Kubernetes deployments?

Yes—central TOML simplifies env vars across pods/Helm, catches mismatches early, cuts deploy failures.
