axum is a web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity.
axum is a relatively thin layer on top of hyper and adds very little overhead. It’s designed to work with tokio and hyper. Runtime and transport layer independence is not a goal, at least for the time being.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Route requests to handlers with a macro free API.
- Declaratively parse requests using extractors.
- Simple and predictable error handling model.
- Generate responses with minimal boilerplate.
- Takes full advantage of the tower and tower-http ecosystem of middleware, services, and utilities. axum doesn’t have its own middleware system but instead uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic.
