Quick Start

For a list of other examples, see: Examples

To get started using Xitca-web add the following code to your main.rs file:

use xitca_web::{handler::handler_service, middleware::Logger, route::get, App};

async fn index() -> &'static str {
    "Hello world!!"
}

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    App::new()
        .at("/", get(handler_service(index)))
        .enclosed(Logger::new())
        .serve()
        .bind("localhost:8080")?
        .run()
        .wait()
}

And then add the following dependencies to your Cargo.toml file:

xitca-web = { version = "*" , features = ["logger"]}

And then run the application/server using cargo run command and it should start the server/application on http://127.0.0.1:8080. Open your prefered browser and navigate to the address on which the server has started and you should see a hello world!! message appear.

[!Warning] The project is still not stable. So expect breaking changes to appear at any time.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why Yet Another HTTP Library and Framework?

The primary reason behind creating Xitca-web is to provide more memory safe framework which uses 100% safe rust. As well as to provide a framework which provides its own HTTP library, async IO abstraction, tls integration and a database driver all in one package with a low-memory footprint, less synchronization overhead between threads, a very small dependency tree and with good interoperability between with other async frameworks like tokio, async-std, etc and with crates like Tower and HTTP. Additionally, the following HTTP library and framework was built to provide a simple and compact code base with easier to understand and adoptable API both internally and externally and to provide the choice to the user to opt-out of macro usage when using xitca-web which can greatly improve build/compile times by eliminating the extra proc-macro build/compile step.
