hyper
A protective and efficient HTTP library for all.
- HTTP/1 and HTTP/2
- Asynchronous design
- Leading in performance
- Tested and correct
- Extensive production use
- Client and Server APIs
Get started by looking over the guides.
"Low-level"
hyper is a relatively low-level library, meant to be a building block for libraries and applications.
If you are looking for a convenient HTTP client, then you may wish to consider reqwest.
If you are not sure what HTTP server to choose, then you may want to consider axum or warp, the latter taking a more functional approach. Both are built on top of this library.
