axum is an HTTP routing and request-handling library written in Rust that focuses on ergonomics and modularity. repository

This page contains a list of axum-related crates, project showcases, tutorials, videos, and other assorted items.

It started as a copy of the ECOSYSTEM.md file of the repository of axum when it was removed. After a brief maintenance as part of the 📖 Code Maven axum book it was moved to the 🎉 awesome axum repository.
