Haro is a simple and synchronous web framework written in and for Rust.

The project was named after the Haro character. The application interface was inspired by the web.py project.

Motivation

In short, async Rust is more difficult to use and can result in a higher maintenance burden than synchronous Rust, but gives you best-in-class performance in return. All areas of async Rust are constantly improving, so the impact of these issues will wear off over time

https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/03_state_of_async_rust.html

As the async book says, async Rust is not mature yet. While bringing performance, it also results in a higher maintenance burden. The goal of this project is to create a simple and minimum synchronous Web framework for Rust.

Quick Start

Add haro as a dependency by cargo

cargo add haro

Then, on your main.rs:

use haro::{Application, Request, Response};
use serde_json::json;

fn main() {
    let mut app = Application::new("0:8000");
    app.route("/", index);
    app.route("/hello/:name", hello);
    app.run();
}

fn index(_: Request) -> Response {
    Response::str("Hello Haro")
}

fn hello(req: Request) -> Response {
    let data = json!({
        "method":req.method(),
        "args":req.args,
        "params":req.params,
        "data":req.data,
    });
    Response::json(data)
}

http get "localhost:8080/"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-length: 12
content-type: text/plain

Hello Haro

http post "localhost:8080/hello/world?a=b" c=d
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-length: 77
content-type: application/json

{
    "args": {
        "a": "b"
    },
    "data": {
        "c": "d"
    },
    "method": "POST",
    "params": {
        "name": "world"
    }
}
