The new mime crate has several benefits: - Faster formatting - Easier to use. Most common mime types are now just constants, like `mime::TEXT_PLAIN`. - Proper suffix support. - Extensible without breaking backwards compatiblity. This means we can always add new constants, but before we couldn't add new variants to the enums. - It's now impossible for a `Mime` to contain invalid tokens. Before, with the `Ext(String)` variants, it was possible to create an illegal mime. Closes #738 BREAKING CHANGE: Most uses of `mime` will likely break. There is no more `mime!` macro, nor a `Mime` constructor, nor `TopLevel` and `SubLevel` enums. Instead, in most cases, a constant exists that can now be used. For less common mime types, they can be created by parsing a string.
hyper
A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
Documentation
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.
Be aware that hyper is still actively evolving towards 1.0, and is likely to experience breaking changes before stabilising. The current area of change is the movement towards async IO and refining the design around that. You can also see the 1.0 issue milestone.
