## What it is
A curated, community-maintained collection of example projects demonstrating how to use the Actix Web framework and its ecosystem in Rust. It also showcases real-world production applications built with Actix, such as Lemmy, MeiliSearch, and Mozilla services.

## Use cases
- learn how to build web servers in Rust with Actix Web
- find example code for REST APIs in Actix Web
- see how to use websockets in an Actix Web application
- look up Actix Web middleware and routing examples
- find real-world production Rust web apps built with Actix
- get started with the Actix Web ecosystem through runnable samples
- reference patterns for forms, uploads, and database access in Actix

## When to choose
- you are learning Actix Web and want runnable, curated example code
- you need reference implementations of common web patterns in Rust
- you are evaluating Actix Web and want to see production applications using it
- you want up-to-date examples maintained alongside the Actix ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need the actual web framework itself rather than examples (use the actix-web crate)
- you are building web services in a language other than Rust
- you need a complete, deployable application instead of demonstration code
- you want a structured tutorial or course rather than example repositories
