By now, a number of additional bindings for GObject based libraries exist. While not part of the gtk-rs project, many of them are developed in close collaboration. Notable other projects within the gtk-rs ecosystem are

More bindings can be found as part of the GNOME GitLab Rust Group.

All these bindings are generated on the basis of GObject introspection (GIR). The book Generate Rust bindings for GIR based libraries provides the documentation for the tools that gtk-rs provides to generate such bindings.
