poem VS Rocket

https://github.com/poem-web/poem is one Rust framework with swagger definitions out of the box.

There is one: Poem[1]

The author mentions flask but looking at the "What we need section", I don't think flask covers those. I hate Djago with a passion but if those are the requirements, I think Django is the one that closely resembles what the author is describing. So Poem is not a good candidate either in that regard. Poem is all in all, something that closely resembles FastAPI, which is actually a complement. I've tried half a dozen rust web frameworks and they all come with a ton of boilerplate fiddling with the initial setup. Which is a problem if you want to get things done fast. In that regard, poem nails it. Yes, actix has a considerably better performance but unless you are aiming for sub-30 millisecond responses, then actix is not what you should be looking at to begin with. Also if you crave a Pydantic, there is a crate that sort of does that for you: https://crates.io/crates/poem-openapi

TypeSpec is great, but if you're working with Rust and you're about to write a new project that will require an OpenApi spec sooner or later, I'd like to recommend a web framework that has spec generation baked in:

https://github.com/poem-web/poem (see poem_openapi)

All you need to do is derive a trait on your response structs and in return you get an almost perfectly generated spec. Unions, objects, enums are first class citizens.

Also, if you're from coming from PHP, the controllers feel very much like symfony controllers.

P.s. Please do recommend an ORM that would feel closer to doctrine. I miss doctrine.

I've used FastAPI/Pydantic before as well and it was a very good experience. It has been a while since I used them though, so I forget exactly how they compare, but I do recall it wrote most of the OpenAPI spec. for you. I will also agree when I saw utoipa and aide they seemed to require more boilerplate even though I have not done an actual comparison. Poem, on the other hand, seems very neat and clean and doesn't have any duplication that I can see. Here is the [TODO example](https://github.com/poem-web/poem/blob/master/examples/openapi/todos/src/main.rs).

The example at https://github.com/poem-web/poem/tree/master/examples/openapi/auth-apikey works without issues for me.

'Poem', it turns to nicer to play with for me than 'Axum'. Example of web socket chat https://github.com/poem-web/poem/blob/master/examples/poem/websocket-chat/src/main.rs

If you need built-in OpenAPI support, I can recommend Poem.

If OpenAPI is important, then you may to consider https://github.com/poem-web/poem instead of axum. It isn't nearly as widely used, but it should still be compatible with everything else.

Poem: More rigid and less popular and aims to be easier https://github.com/poem-web/poem

Did you check out Poem? It seems promising, with openapi generation built in already.

In this post, we'll explore how to set up a local development environment for a Rust web application using the Rocket framework and Docker. The setup includes automatic recompilation and logging whenever you update your code. Here's how it works, step by step.

Today we talk about Rocket.rs, a web framework that uses Rust as a backend language. 🚀

I was surprised not to see Rocket (https://rocket.rs/) mentioned among the frameworks the author listed; I haven’t used it myself because I _like_ the more unopinionated axum/actix-web, but as I understand it its goals are much more in the vein of what the author wants in a batteries-included framework.

At the bottom of the Rocket web site there are a few sponsors listed Kindness.ai, ohne Makler, 1Password, Signal Insight, and Edwin Olback. There are more sponsors on GitHub sponsors page

4. Rocket

If you want something simpler/more minimal, you could use https://rocket.rs/ for the backend and handle the front-end however you want.

I’m the author of https://kellnr.io. When I started working on Kellnr three years ago, https://rocket.rs was “the web framework” to use. Unfortunately, the project seems dead. Before adding more functionality using an unmaintained framework, I want to port Kellnr to https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum.
