Rocket is an async web framework for Rust focused on usability, security, extensibility, and speed. It provides macro-based routing, compile-time route checking, typed request handling, and optional features like TLS, secrets, and JSON support.

Use cases

• build a web application in rust
• write a type-safe rest api in rust
• serve http endpoints with rust
• handle web forms and file uploads in rust
• create a secure web server with tls in rust
• build a json api backend in rust

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included, type-safe Rust web framework with minimal boilerplate
• compile-time route and request validation matters for security and correctness
• you want built-in form handling, testing utilities, and optional TLS/secrets features
• you prefer declarative macro-based routing over manual handler wiring

When to avoid

• you need a minimal micro-framework with tiny compile times
• your team is not comfortable with Rust's type system and macros
• you need a framework with built-in ORM or sessions rather than external crates
• you are building in a non-Rust language or need multi-language support
