Backtalk is a web framework for Rust. Much is subject to change and it's not ready for writing production sites, but the structure is there, and I'm glad to answer questions/help out if the documentation isn't enough.
- Asynchronous – use Futures for everything, handle thousands of concurrent connections.
- Realtime – expose a streaming API, and push live events to clients.
- Simple – only a couple hundred lines of code.
- Opinionated – exclusively for JSON-based RESTful APIs.
- Magicless – no macros, no unsafe, runs on stable Rust.
A simple server example:
let mut server = Server::new();
let database = memory::MemoryAdapter::new();
server.resource("/cats", move |req: Request| {
database.handle(req)
});
server.listen("127.0.0.1:3000");You can look in the examples directory for more information, or the blog post walking through the examples.
