Version 0.1.3 (#139)
- Fix stripping prefix when nesting services at `/` ([#91](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/91))
- Add support for WebSocket protocol negotiation ([#83](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/83))
- Use `pin-project-lite` instead of `pin-project` ([#95](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/95))
- Re-export `http` crate and `hyper::Server` ([#110](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/110))
- Fix `Query` and `Form` extractors giving bad request error when query string is empty. ([#117](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/117))
- Add `Path` extractor. ([#124](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/124))
- Fixed the implementation of `IntoResponse` of `(HeaderMap, T)` and `(StatusCode, HeaderMap, T)` would ignore headers from `T` ([#137](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/137))
- Deprecate `extract::UrlParams` and `extract::UrlParamsMap`. Use `extract::Path` instead ([#138](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/138))

axum

axum is a web application framework that focuses on ergonomics and modularity.

Build status Crates.io Documentation

More information about this crate can be found in the crate documentation.

High level features

  • Route requests to handlers with a macro free API.
  • Declaratively parse requests using extractors.
  • Simple and predictable error handling model.
  • Generate responses with minimal boilerplate.
  • Take full advantage of the tower and tower-http ecosystem of middleware, services, and utilities.

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.

Usage example

use axum::{prelude::*, response::IntoResponse, http::StatusCode};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use std::net::SocketAddr;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // initialize tracing
    tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();

    // build our application with a route
    let app =
        // `GET /` goes to `root`
        route("/", get(root))
        // `POST /users` goes to `create_user`
        .route("/users", post(create_user));

    // run our app with hyper
    // `axum::Server` is a re-export of `hyper::Server`
    let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
    tracing::debug!("listening on {}", addr);
    axum::Server::bind(&addr)
        .serve(app.into_make_service())
        .await
        .unwrap();
}

// basic handler that responds with a static string
async fn root() -> &'static str {
    "Hello, World!"
}

async fn create_user(
    // this argument tells axum to parse the request body
    // as JSON into a `CreateUser` type
    extract::Json(payload): extract::Json<CreateUser>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {
    // insert your application logic here
    let user = User {
        id: 1337,
        username: payload.username,
    };

    // this will be converted into an JSON response
    // with a status code of `201 Created`
    (StatusCode::CREATED, response::Json(user))
}

// the input to our `create_user` handler
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct CreateUser {
    username: String,
}

// the output to our `create_user` handler
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct User {
    id: u64,
    username: String,
}

See the crate documentation for way more examples.

Performance

axum is a relatively thin layer on top of hyper and adds very little overhead. So axum's performance is comparable to hyper. You can find a benchmark here.

Safety

This crate uses #![forbid(unsafe_code)] to ensure everything is implemented in 100% safe Rust.

Examples

The examples folder contains various examples of how to use axum. The docs also have lots of examples

Getting Help

In the axum's repo we also have a number of examples showing how to put everything together. You're also welcome to ask in the Discord channel or open an issue with your question.
