Learning Axum by Brian Obot

This repository documents my journey of learning Axum, a web framework built with Rust that focuses on ergonomics and performance. The repo contains various examples, experiments, and notes as I explore Axum's features and capabilities.

Why Axum?

Axum is a modern web framework built on top of Tokio and Hyper, making it well-suited for asynchronous applications. Key benefits include:

• Ergonomic request handling with typed extractors.
• Integration with Tokio for async performance.
• Modular architecture supporting middleware and routing flexibility.
• Strong typing and safety using Rust's ownership model.

What You'll Find Here

This repo is structured with examples and notes that cover:

• Basic Axum setup and routing.
• Handling requests and responses.
• Extractors and middleware.
• Error handling and logging.
• Async database interactions with SQL/NoSQL.
• Authentication and authorization patterns.
• WebSockets, streaming, and real-time features.

Running the Examples

To run any example, ensure you have Rust installed (preferably via rustup), then clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/brianobot/learning_axum-rs.git
cd learning_axum-rs
cargo run

Some examples may require additional dependencies. Refer to Cargo.toml for details.
