Middleware-Oriented, Concurrency Focused Web Development in Rust.
```rust struct ResponseTime;
impl Assoc
impl BeforeMiddleware for ResponseTime {
fn before(&self, req: &mut Request) -> IronResult<()> {
req.extensions.insert::
impl AfterMiddleware for ResponseTime {
fn after(&self, req: &mut Request, : &mut Response) -> IronResult<()> {
let delta = precisetime_ns() - *req.extensions.find::
Iron is a high level web framework built in and for Rust
Iron does not come bundled with any middleware - instead, Iron is a robust and efficient framework for plugging in middleware.
Iron focuses on providing a clean API for creating middleware and integrating them in Iron servers.
Iron averages 84,000+ requests per second for hello world.
Iron aims to fill a void in the Rust web stack - a high level framework that is extensible and makes organizing complex server code easy.
Middleware is painless to build, and the core bundle already includes: - Routing - Mounting - Static File Serving - JSON Body Parsing - URL Encoded Data Parsing - Logging - Cookies - Sessions - Persistent Storage
This allows for insanely flexible and powerful setups and allows nearly all
of Iron’s features to be swappable - you can even change the middleware
resolution algorithm by swapping in your own Chain.
If you're using Cargo, just add Iron to your Cargo.toml:
```toml [dependencies.iron]
git = "https://github.com/iron/iron.git" ```
Otherwise, just clone this repo, cargo build, and the rlib will be in your target directory.
Along with the online documentation,
you can build a local copy with cargo doc.
Check out the examples directory!
You can compile all of the examples with cargo test. The binaries will be placed in target/test/.
