ureq VS warp

I also enjoyed using ureq as an http client.

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.

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.

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

Give ureq a try: https://github.com/algesten/ureq

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.

Have you gone through the (examples)[https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/blob/master/examples/]? There's actually a lot of explicit instructions here on how to use Warp, and all of them are very straightforward to read (e.g., (this example with route parameters and a POST'ed body)[https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/blob/master/examples/body.rs])

There are numerous guides how to do custom error messages using the routes .recover() method (including the official one ), but it seems quite inflexible since I can't (seem to?) pass the actual error messages back to user.

What I see on the examples for the warp crate is that the examples do this:

You might want to consider using Alacritty instead of Warp. Warp is VC-funded, macOS only, closed source, and it phones home. They also kinda stole the name of a web framework.

warp server,

Hello, I'd need some help with warp routes since I'm not familiar with the framework. If somebody knows how to do this I'd appreciate very much.

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.

We've added support for the warp, salvo & thruster frameworks
