I always thought Actix-Web was the tried & true rust web framework. I'd vaguely heard of Warp and never heard of Axum.
What's behind this sudden explosion of them? Are they all skins over the same core libs or what?
- dralley 4y ago>I always thought Actix-Web was the tried & true rust web framework. That is mostly still true, but Axum is developed under the same organization as Tokio and integrates very well with that ecosystem, including Tower middleware. So in that sense it has a feeling of being "official" insofar as such a thing exists. The community is big enough for it to not die if the maintainer were to disappear tomorrow. It's also a pretty nice framework and has better compile times than Actix-web. It is less an explosion of frameworks so much as a consolidation, if anything. Axum and Actix are the de-facto frontrunners.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoThanks - that gives me a nice overview of what's going on. Will check out Axum the thing i was excited about actix-web (Actors) is apparently not part of it anymore anyway.
