Rust Web Frameworks
Rust is a language that achieves both memory safety and performance, used not only for systems programming but also for developing high-performance web applications. Zero-cost abstractions are its hallmark.
Key Features
- Memory Safety: Memory management through ownership system
- Zero-cost Abstractions: High-level expression with low-level performance
- Concurrency: Concurrent programming without data races
- Type System: Powerful type inference and expressiveness
- WebAssembly: High-performance execution in browsers
Representative Frameworks
- Axum: Ergonomic web framework based on Tokio
- Actix Web: High-performance and pragmatic framework
- Rocket: Type-safe and easy-to-use web framework
