Xitca-Web is a HTTP library and web framework written in 100% safe Rust with zero-copy serialization / deserialization support. It focuses on memory efficiency, composability, and fast compile time.
The main 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.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
- Powerful request routing with optional opt-in macros.
- Full Tokio compatibility.
- Cross crate integration with Tower.
- Client/server WebSockets support.
- Transparent content compression/decompression (br, gzip, deflate, zstd).
- Multipart streams.
- Static assets.
- SSL support using Xitca-tls or rustls.
- Middlewares (Logger, Tracing, etc).
- Memory efficient – zero copy magic types, and zero cost service tree.
- Composable – easy minutes of various levels of abstractions and less opinionated APIs. Common types and traits for cross crates integration of the majority Rust web ecosystem.
