The current state of Rust web frameworks
Rust is one of the most popular language for developers due to its open-source, fast, reliable and high-performance features. When building a new API in Rust, it is important to consider the benefits and drawbacks of web frameworks for front and backend development.
In this article, we will discuss what a web framework is and provide recommendations for which current frameworks to use for Rust in frontend and backend development.
A web framework is a software tool that supports the development of web applications; a web framework can range from a small codebase for micro apps to a large codebase for enterprise apps, and everything in between.
The most extensive web frameworks provide libraries of support for databases, templating, sessions, migration, and other utilities to speed up the development process. More simplistic frameworks focus more acutely on frontend management for static content rendering. Whatever your project needs, web frameworks can provide the web services, web resources, and web APIs that development teams need to help bring their ideas to life.
When choosing the appropriate web framework for your project, your development team should consider the relative importance of the following:
