The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Thermostat Control for Ecobee
I also enjoyed using ureq as an http client.

An HTTP request parser with rust and pest.rs
After a quick check of the available rust http client libraries I opted for reqwest. It has a pretty simple API and it seems to be among the most used libraries for this matters. But I'm a bit concerned about all its dependencies so I might try ureq later.

HTTP-client agnostic crate
Async is only useful when you have hundreds of connections open at the same time and idling most of the time; otherwise it's a liability. If your web API does not allow that (e.g. it has rate-limiting, which most APIs do), I suggest going with a client that performs blocking I/O and spawning threads if you need parallelism. https://github.com/algesten/ureq should fit the bill.

Client/Server Communication Help
I think you'll find a lot of people claiming its overkill, but it will have excellent documentation for both sides, offer reasonable speed, and let you hash out the actual logic of your system without worrying too much about if your low-level implementation is correct. Two good frameworks for the server would be Actix or Rocket. For the client, i'd reccomend either using reqwest or ureq. From there, you can just set up a few POST endpoints, and get to going.

If you want an HTTP client with few dependencies and little unsafe code, take a look at https://github.com/algesten/ureq

Introduction to Rust generics [1/2]: Traits
As of today, async functions in traits are not natively supported by Rust. Fortunately, David Tolnay got our back covered (one more time): we can use the async-trait crate.

Understanding lifetimes for real?
You might want to check out https://github.com/dtolnay/async-trait to be able to declare async functions in a trait.

David Tolnay - thank you
Also async-trait (GitHub), dtolnay has done some great work!

What are your favorite tricks or hacks in rust?
Does async-trait count as a trick or hack? It's not my hack, but it's a workaround/hack that I use every single day.

Question about traits, associated types, Future, Pin, and Send...
I'm still learning async to I cannot answer all the questions. First of all, I use this -> https://github.com/dtolnay/async-trait to take care of the async-inside-traits mess.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ureq and async-trait you can also consider the following projects:
reqwest - An easy and powerful Rust HTTP Client
monadless - Syntactic sugar for monad composition in Scala
hyper - An HTTP library for Rust
curl-rust - Rust bindings to libcurl
serde-yaml - Strongly typed YAML library for Rust
rust-http-clients-smoke-test
rust-quiz - Medium to hard Rust questions with explanations
teepee - Teepee, the Rust HTTP toolkit
toml-rs - A TOML encoding/decoding library for Rust
