## Overview

hyper is a fast, modern HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. It
is a low-level typesafe abstraction over raw HTTP, providing an elegant
layer over "stringly-typed" HTTP.

Hyper offers both an HTTP client and server which can be used to drive
complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
