rust's powerful actor system and most fun web framework
Forget about stringly typed objects, from request to response, everything has types.
Actix provides a lot of features out of box. WebSockets, HTTP/2, pipelining etc.
Easily create your own libraries that any Actix application can use.
Actix is blazingly fast. Check yourself.
Handler functions in actix can return a wide range of objects that
implement the Responder
trait. This makes it a breeze
to return consistent responses from your APIs.
Actix comes with a powerful extractor system that extracts data from the incoming HTTP request and passes it to your view functions. Not only does this make for a convenient API but it also means that your view functions can be synchronous code and still benefit from asynchronous IO handling.
