Salvo is a powerful yet simple async web framework for Rust, built on Hyper and Tokio. It offers tree-based routing, unified handler/middleware design, HTTP/1-3 support, auto TLS via ACME, and built-in OpenAPI generation.

Use cases

• build a REST API in Rust
• serve a website with automatic HTTPS certificates
• create a WebSocket real-time server
• generate OpenAPI docs for a Rust backend
• write an HTTP/3 web service
• add middleware like rate limiting or JWT auth to a Rust server

When to choose

• you want a Rust web framework with minimal boilerplate and simple handler functions
• you need HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 support out of the box
• you want built-in OpenAPI documentation generation
• you need automatic TLS/Let's Encrypt certificate management
• you want flexible nested routing with middleware at any level

When to avoid

• your team is already invested in Axum or Actix with existing code
• you need the largest ecosystem of third-party examples and middleware
• you are not using Rust for your backend
