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 Responders A, B, and C. This is normal and encouraged as the type names typically illustrate the intended response.
