Axum is an HTTP routing and request-handling library for Rust built on Tokio, focusing on ergonomics and modularity. It integrates deeply with the Tower ecosystem of middleware and services.
Use cases
- build a REST API in Rust
- serve HTTP endpoints with async Rust
- create a web backend with routing and middleware
- handle JSON request and response bodies
- build a microservice in Rust
When to choose
- you want an ergonomic, modular Rust web framework
- your project already uses Tokio or Tower middleware
- you need type-safe extractors for request handling
When to avoid
- you need a batteries-included framework with built-in ORM and templating
- you are not using async Rust or Tokio
- you need a synchronous web server
