[−][src]Module rocket::response
Types and traits to build and send responses.
The return type of a Rocket handler can be any type that implements the
Responder
trait, which means that the type knows
how to generate a Response
. Among other things, this module contains
several such types.
Composing
Many of the built-in Responder
types chain responses: they take in
another Responder
and add, remove, or change information in the response.
In other words, many Responder
types are built to compose well. As a
result, you'll often have types of the form A<B<C>>
consisting of three
Responder
s A
, B
, and C
. This is normal and encouraged as the type
names typically illustrate the intended response.
Contrib
The contrib
crate contains several useful Responder
s
including Template
and
Json
.
