Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
A Rust-based library for constructing and sending HTTP responses with a fluent interface. This library provides an implementation of an HTTP Response type that allows for flexible configuration of HTTP version, status code, headers, and body. It supports building HTTP response payloads and sending them over a TcpStream.
A comprehensive library providing common HTTP constants for header names, versions, MIME types, and protocol identifiers.
A comprehensive Rust library providing essential types for HTTP operations. Includes core HTTP abstractions (request/response, methods, status codes, versions), content types, cookies, WebSocket support, and thread-safe concurrent types (ArcMutex, ArcRwLock). Also provides convenient Option-wrapped primitive types for flexible HTTP handling.
