Actix Web
Rust web framework for building HTTP servers and web applications, with routing, middleware, WebSocket support and an async runtime.
Actix Web is a web framework for Rust. A project adds it as a Cargo dependency, registers handlers on an App, and an HttpServer serves that App. The result is a native executable that runs until it receives a shutdown signal, either behind another HTTP server such as nginx or on its own.
The repository holds several crates, and actix-web is one of them. The Actix Team maintains it, and its community page points to a Discord server.
Worth knowing
The getting-started guide and the README state different minimum Rust versions, and both are recorded on the record.
