## What it is
xitca-web is an async HTTP library and web framework written in 100% safe Rust, focused on memory efficiency, composability, and fast compile times. It supports HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3, with optional features for WebSockets, compression, TLS, gRPC, multipart, rate limiting, and Tower integration.

## Use cases
- build a web server in rust
- serve http apis with http/2 and http/3 support
- add websocket support to a rust backend
- write a memory-efficient async web framework app
- serve static files and handle multipart uploads in rust
- add rate limiting and compression middleware to rust http services

## When to choose
- you want a safe-Rust web framework with fine-grained feature flags and low memory overhead
- you need modern protocol support (HTTP/3, io_uring) in a Rust backend
- you want Tokio and Tower ecosystem compatibility

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable API - the project explicitly warns of breaking changes
- you want the largest ecosystem and most tutorials - Actix or Axum are more established
- you need batteries-included features enabled by default - most features are opt-in

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, websocket, middleware, routing, serialization, rate-limiting, templating
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: http3, io-uring, tokio, tower, zero-copy, memory-efficiency, async, tls, grpc, multipart, linux
