To serialize and deserialize data, we'll employ the popular serde crate along with serde_json. This will allow us to easily convert between Rust types and JSON when working with API requests and responses. For async operations we'll use the Rust futures crate.
One key advantage of using Rust for Cloudflare Workers is its excellent WebAssembly (WASM) support. Rust code can be efficiently compiled to WASM bytecode and executed with near-native performance in the browser. This makes it a fantastic fit for the serverless computing model of Cloudflare Workers. The generated WASM module is uploaded to Cloudflare's edge network during deployment, where it can quickly scale to handle requests across global data centers. By leveraging Rust and WASM, we get safe, fast code with tiny bundles that load quickly. For our API, this means low-latency and resilient performance for end users, while keeping costs low on the serverless backend. Rust's lightweight threading model also shines in the concurrent environment of Workers.
