HTTP Client
  1. hyper

    An HTTP library for Rust (by hyperium)

    Project mention: Rusty Backends | dev.to | 2025-01-20

    In particular the last point is what sets axum apart from other frameworks axum doesn't have its own middleware system but instead uses tower::Service. This means axum gets timeouts, tracing, compression, authorization, and more, for free. It also enables you to share middleware with applications written using hyper or tonic.

    Project mention: Sprint 4 - TLS Certificates and CSP | dev.to | 2025-03-13

  4. reqwest

    An easy and powerful Rust HTTP Client

    Project mention: Curl removes experimental HTTP back end in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-22

    Most of them are built on top of hyper, including reqwest [0] (not a bad thing, they're just still hyper).

    I personally wouldn't even consider hyper as an HTTP client for use in most projects, but reqwest adds a much more approachable API on top of hyper.

    Project mention: Command Line Tools I Like (2022) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-09
