A low-level HTTP server library in Rust that handles connections, request parsing, pipelining, and HTTPS while leaving routing and higher-level concerns to the user. It is designed for HTTP standard compliance and speed, using a thread pool per client connection.

Use cases

• build a minimal HTTP server in Rust
• embed an HTTP server in a Rust application
• handle HTTP request pipelining
• serve HTTPS with rustls or OpenSSL
• build a custom web framework on top of a low-level server

When to choose

• you need fine-grained control over HTTP handling without a full framework
• you want a small, compliant, fast HTTP server library
• you are embedding an HTTP endpoint in a larger Rust program

When to avoid

• you want routing, middleware, or templating out of the box
• you are building a full website and should use a web framework instead
• you need async/await-based server internals
