anterofit
Anterofit is a collection of Rust macros coupled to a lightweight, self-contained HTTP framework that allows you to create strongly-typed Rust wrappers around REST APIs with ease.
Inspired by Square's Retrofit, as referenced in the name, Anterofit is even more strongly typed as everything that is feasible to check at compile-time, is. Runtime errors are, with few exceptions, reserved for error conditions that can only be discovered at runtime.

###Setup
####rustc-serialize
:
Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.1"
= "0.3"
Crate Root:
extern crate anterofit;
extern crate rustc_serialize;
Serde and JSON serialization:
Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.8"
[]
= "0.1"
= false
= ["serde", "serde_json"]
Then see Serde's Setting Up Codegen guide.
###Choosing a serialization framework
rustc-serialize
and Serde both have their pros and cons. Neither is a clear winner over the other; it depends
entirely on your needs.
