If you've ever made a pull request on github before, you probably know more about it than me. I would really appreciate any help on this project, so if you have an idea on how to improve it, please feel free to submit an issue or pull request.

Example: Recursively traversing a comment tree

fn print_tree(listing: Listing<Comment>, level: i32) {
	for comment in listing {
	    for _ in 0..level {
		    print!("\t");
		}
		println!("Comment by {}", comment.author);
		print_tree(comment.replies, level + 1);
	}
}

print_tree(tree, 0);

Example: Authorizing as OAuth Script type

let mut app = App::new("appnamehere", "v0.1.0", "/u/usernamehere/").unwrap();
app.authorize_script(id, secret, username, password).unwrap();

In order to send HTTPS requests, this library depends on openssl-sys, which requires openssl development libraries to be installed on your system to build the project. Instructions detailing this process can be found here
