A new HTTP/2 framework created from scratch
wtx is, among other things, a RFC7541 and RFC9113 implementation intended to allow the development of web applications through a built-in server framework as well as a built-in PostgreSQL connector.
The project supports \no\\_std\\, doesn't have any mandatory dependencies and showed promising runtime results. A set of benchmarks comparing other HTTP/2 web frameworks is available at https://c410-f3r.github.io/wtx-bench/.
Here goes a list of similar projects and their development features.
- axum + bb8 + tokio-postgres (https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/tree/main/examples/tokio-postgres): 132 dependencies, optimized binary of \
3.6M and a build time of \26s. - actix-web + deadpool + tokio-postgres (https://github.com/actix/examples/tree/master/databases/postgres): 264 dependencies, optimized binary of \
4.1M and a build time of \38s. - wtx (https://github.com/c410-f3r/wtx/tree/main/wtx-instances/examples/http-server-framework.rs): 46 dependencies, optimized binary of \
840k and a build time of \12s.
GRPC over HTTP/2 is in progress and is hopefully expected to be completed in the next few weeks.
