Hey rustaceans, which web framework you guys suggest for a small application?

1. Tide

   1 30 5,080 6.6 Rust

   Fast and friendly HTTP server framework for async Rust

   

   Because you suggested it might be small I’d suggest tide. it is the flask/express/sinatra of rust: it handles routing, dealing with http parsing, and building http responses, and thats pretty much it. I havent done a thorough comparison, but my guess is its dependency footprint is a bit smaller (comparatively to other frameworks), which is nice.

3. actix-web

   2 180 22,568 9.1 Rust

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

   

   Depending what you want to do :). I love actix_web, which is very fast and light-weight.

4. tiny-http

   3 5 1,056 0.0 Rust

   Low level HTTP server library in Rust

   

   tiny-http is small. You'll probably be able to make something with less than 1 Mb.

5. Rouille, Rust web server middleware

   4 15 1,160 3.7 Rust

   Web framework in Rust (by tomaka)

   

   I don't have any Rust-relevant experience here, but if I wanted to build a web server in Rust and was okay with "reasonable" performance, I'd probably give rouille a try first.

6. Rocket

   5 162 24,960 8.7 Rust

   A web framework for Rust.

   

   You can check maybe other discussions or issues, but this one I followed a while https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/discussions/2011

7. trillium

   6 6 350 7.3 Rust

   Trillium is a composable toolkit for building internet applications with async rust

   

   i like trillium a lot. inspired by plug (elixir), you just add plugs in a vertical stack and the request goes from top to bottom. there is also ntex which has a ton of examples inspired by actix-web (might have been a fork) https://github.com/ntex-rs/examples

8. examples

   7 1 91 3.9 Rust
