        <h2>Flexible Responders</h2>
        <p>
          Handler functions in actix can return a wide range of objects that
          implement the <code>Responder</code> trait.  This makes it a breeze
          to return consistent responses from your APIs.

      <div class="actix-feature" id="extractors">
        <h2>Powerful Extractors</h2>
        <p>
          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.
        </p>

      <div class="actix-feature" id="forms">
        <h2>Easy Form Handling</h2>
        <p>
          Handling multipart/urlencoded form data is easy.  Just define
          a structure that can be deserialized and actix will handle
          the rest.
