MSRV: stable

Features

• Blazing fast performance, greater than axum and actix for non keep-alive requests.
• Built-in threading system that allows you to efficiently handle requests.
• Absolutely no async elements, improving ergonomics.
• Minimal build size, 500kb when stripped.

Getting Started

[dependencies]
vegemite = "0.1.0"

vegemite uses a set of handler systems and traits to handle requests and responses. Here's a starting example of a Hello World server.

use vegemite::{run, sys, Get, Route, Response};

fn get(_get: Get) -> Response<String> {
    let content = String::from("<h1>Hello World<h1>");

    Response::builder()
        .status(200)
        .body(content)
        .unwrap()
}

fn main() {
    let router = Route::new(sys![get]);

    run("127.0.0.1:8080", router);
}
