## What it is
Lapin is an async AMQP 0-9-1 client library for Rust, primarily targeting RabbitMQ. It provides a futures-based API and is runtime-agnostic, supporting tokio, smol, and async-global-executor.

## Use cases
- publish and consume messages from RabbitMQ in Rust
- declare queues, exchanges, and bindings over AMQP 0-9-1
- build async message-driven microservices in Rust
- automatically recover RabbitMQ connections after network failures
- integrate RabbitMQ messaging into tokio or smol applications

## When to choose
- you need an AMQP 0-9-1 client in Rust
- your project uses RabbitMQ and an async Rust runtime
- you want automatic connection and topology recovery

## When to avoid
- you need AMQP 1.0 instead of 0-9-1
- you use Kafka or another non-AMQP message broker
- you need a synchronous blocking client

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: message-queue, http-client
- domain: backend, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: amqp, rabbitmq, amqp0-9-1, async, futures, tokio, smol, messaging
