rust_web_server/
lib.rs

1//! # rust-web-server
2//!
3//! An HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 (QUIC) server, reverse proxy, and
4//! application framework in one crate. HTTP/1.1 parsing, routing, middleware,
5//! JSON, WebSocket, and SSE are implemented in-crate; HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
6//! framing use the `h2` and `quinn`/`h3` crates, and TLS uses `rustls`.
7//!
8//! ## Use as a library
9//!
10//! Add to `Cargo.toml`:
11//!
12//! ```toml
13//! [dependencies]
14//! rust-web-server = "17"
15//! ```
16//!
17//! ## Quick start
18//!
19//! ```rust,no_run
20//! use rust_web_server::prelude::*;
21//!
22//! fn hello(_: &Request, _: &PathParams, _: &ConnectionInfo, _: &()) -> Response {
23//!     Response::text(STATUS_CODE_REASON_PHRASE.n200_ok, "Hello, world!")
24//! }
25//!
26//! fn main() {
27//!     let app = App::with_state(()).get("/hello", hello);
28//!     let (listener, pool) = Server::setup().unwrap();
29//!     Server::run(listener, pool, app);
30//! }
31//! ```
32//!
33//! See [DEVELOPER.md](https://github.com/bohdaq/rust-web-server/blob/main/DEVELOPER.md)
34//! for the full building blocks reference and use case examples.
