## What it is
Gotham is a flexible web framework for Rust built on Tokio and Hyper, emphasizing stability, safety, security, and speed. It is statically typed with async handlers, routing, extractors, middleware, and shared state support.

## Use cases
- build a web server in rust
- create a rest api with rust
- serve http endpoints with async rust
- route http requests to handlers in rust
- build a type-safe backend service in rust
- add middleware to a rust web app

## When to choose
- you want a stable, compile-time-safe Rust web framework
- you need async request handling with microsecond-level performance
- you prefer building on Tokio and Hyper

## When to avoid
- you want the largest ecosystem and community, where Actix Web or Axum dominate
- you need batteries-included features like built-in ORM or templating
- you are new to Rust and want the most beginner-friendly framework

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: async, tokio, hyper, type-safe, http
