Expand description
Actix is an actor framework.
Actors are
objects which encapsulate state and behavior, they communicate
exclusively by exchanging messages. Actix actors are implemented
on top of Tokio. Multiple actors can run in
same thread. Actors can run in multiple threads using the
Arbiter API. Actors exchange typed
messages.
