Axum

Axum, the web framework created by the folks from tokio.

What does axum feature, or set them apart from other frameworks:

  • Macro free.
  • Parse requests using extractors. E.g. to extract JSON in a handler.
  • Has no own middleware - relies on integrating tower and tower-http and thus making it quite modular.

So what will we show you, that you will need later on:

  • How to write a handler in axum and return data as http response
  • How to extract a payload from an incoming request (Extractors)
  • How to add state to your application
