# anstyle > ANSI text styling *A portmanteau of "ansi style"* [![Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-master-blue.svg)][Documentation] ![License](https://img.shields.io/crates/l/anstyle.svg) [![Crates Status](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/anstyle.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/anstyle) `anstyle` provides core types describing [ANSI styling escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) for interoperability between crates. For example, this would allow a crate to provide an API for customizing the colors used without putting the underlying text styling crate in the API. For integration with your text styling crate, see: - [anstyle-termcolor](crates/termcolor) - [anstyle-owo-colors](crates/owo) - [anstyle-yansi](crates/yansi) General utilities: - [anstyle-git](crates/git): Parse Git style descriptions ## License Licensed under either of * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) at your option. ### Contribution Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
