  • Write OpenAPI with TypeSpec
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Mar 2024
    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.

  • What is the best API generator for Axum?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 9 Apr 2023
    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).

    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.

    If one were to undertake a project of developing something like this, which is the best web framework for it. I did some cursory research and discovered these back-end frameworks - actix, axum, poem, salvo, warp, gotham and rocket.

  • Hyper – A fast and correct HTTP implementation for Rust

    I tried warp [0] and I am unimpressed so far. Pretty complex, limited documentation, buggy. The builder paradigm they used feels pretty constrained and, in my opinion, achieve the opposite of the simplicity it is supposed to bring. I was surprised it is so popular.

    Maybe I need more time or a favorable comparison to another framework to appreciate it.

  • Using Rust to build a web API
    4 projects | /r/rust | 20 May 2022
    My experience is great. I started with PHP and did a lot of Node/TypeScript (and a little Python) before starting Rust. I tried to develop an API with warp, it was really nice but I felt like it was less maintained over time so I migrated to Axum and I'm still really satisfied.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing poem and warp you can also consider the following projects:

axum - Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper

actix-web - Actix Web is a powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust.

Rocket - A web framework for Rust.

hyper - An HTTP library for Rust

hyperterm - A terminal built on web technologies

kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

yew - Rust / Wasm framework for creating reliable and efficient web applications

tokio - A runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. Provides I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, ...

jelly-actix-web-starter - A starter template for actix-web projects that feels very Django-esque. Avoid the boring stuff and move faster.

alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
