Vial is a small web framework for making small web “sites” in Rust. It includes just a handful of basic features for delivering old school, server-side rendered HTML: request routing, form data parsing, response building, and serving static file assets.
The goal is a small, lean core that compiles quickly and has as few dependencies as possible. Use it for HTML stuff: prototyping ideas, testing out concepts, or, perhaps, even writing tiny personal apps.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Parsing and routing HTTP requests.
- Parsing POST form data.
- Serving static files (css, js).
