Dropshot is a Rust library for exposing REST APIs from a Rust program, with built-in OpenAPI generation. It provides an async HTTP server layer built on tokio/hyper with handler extraction macros.
Use cases
- build a rest api in rust
- generate openapi spec from rust handlers
- serve http endpoints from a rust program
- create json apis with typed handlers
- build backend services in rust
When to choose
- you want REST APIs in Rust with automatic OpenAPI documentation
- you prefer a lightweight, opinionated server over a full web framework
- you're building Oxide-style systems services in async Rust
When to avoid
- you need server-side HTML templating or full-stack features
- you want a large ecosystem of middleware and community plugins
- you need GraphQL or WebSocket-first APIs
