Crate actix [] [src]

Actix is a rust actor system framework.

Actors are objects which encapsulate state and behavior, they communicate exclusively by exchanging messages. Actix actors are implemented on top of Tokio. Mutiple actors could run in same thread. Actors could run in multiple threads with suppoprt of Arbiter. Actors exchange typed messages. Actix does not use any unstable rust features and can be compiled with state rust compiler.

Features

  • Typed messages (No Any type). Generic messages are allowed.
  • Actor communication in a local/thread context.
  • Actor supervision.
  • Using Futures for asynchronous message handling.
  • Compiles with stable rust
