Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides an ergonomic and modular HTTP routing and request-handling framework for Rust applications.
- Leverages the tower ecosystem for middleware, enabling seamless integration of timeouts, tracing, compression, and authorization without custom middleware.
- Use for building high-performance RESTful APIs in Rust with minimal boilerplate and type-safe request parsing.
- Use for creating modular web services that share middleware with hyper or tonic-based applications.
- Use for developing safe, asynchronous web applications in Rust with a macro-free, declarative routing approach.

General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
axumis a web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity.More information about this crate can be found in the crate documentation.
In particular the last point is what sets
axumapart from other frameworks.axumdoesn't have its own middleware system but instead uses [tower::Service]. This meansaxumgets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using [hyper] or [tonic].We are currently working towards axum 0.9 so the
mainbranch contains breaking changes. See the [0.8.x] branch for what's released to crates.io.
