Cot is an easy-to-use, modern and fast web framework for Rust. It is designed for developers who want a cohesive framework rather than assembling numerous independent libraries, and will feel familiar to anyone with experience of Django.
Built on top of axum, Cot brings an opinionated application structure to the Rust web ecosystem while retaining the language’s performance and reliability. It aims to make both new projects and larger web applications easier to develop and maintain.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Easy-to-use and intuitive API with sensible defaults for rapid development.
- Built-in object-relational mapper with automatic database migrations.
- Uses Rust’s type system across views, models, templates, and the administration interface.
- Customizable administration panel for managing application data.
- Secure-by-default design that protects against common web vulnerabilities.
- Command-line utility for creating and managing projects.
