MQNet: Shipping a Rust Library to .NET via NuGet

This article details the process of building MQNet, a .NET wrapper for the Rust-based mq tool (a jq-like query tool for Markdown). It covers P/Invoke interop with a Rust library, cross-platform native compilation using GitHub Actions, and distributing native binaries through NuGet. The post explains the C# API design, including a fluent API for quick queries and an MqEngine class for repeated operations, plus HTML-to-Markdown conversion. It is a technical guide for .NET developers interested in integrating Rust libraries into their projects.
