Overview of this book

Rust is a community-built language that solves pain points present in many other languages, thus improving performance and safety. In this book, you will explore the latest features of Rust by building robust applications across different domains and platforms. The book gets you up and running with high-quality open source libraries and frameworks available in the Rust ecosystem that can help you to develop efficient applications with Rust. You'll learn how to build projects in domains such as data access, RESTful web services, web applications, 2D games for web and desktop, interpreters and compilers, emulators, and Linux Kernel modules. For each of these application types, you'll use frameworks such as Actix, Tera, Yew, Quicksilver, ggez, and nom. This book will not only help you to build on your knowledge of Rust but also help you to choose an appropriate framework for building your project. By the end of this Rust book, you will have learned how to build fast and safe applications with Rust and have the real-world experience you need to advance in your career.

Chapter 3

  1. GET requests a resource to be downloaded; PUT sends some data to replace existing data; POST sends some data that the server should consider as new; DELETE requests the removal of a resource.
  2. The Curl utility.
  3. The handler declares an argument, such as info: Path<(String,)>, and then the value of the &info.0 expression is a reference to the first URI parameter.
  4. By using the content_type method of the HttpResponse type – for example, HttpResponse::Ok().content_type("application/json").
  5. Using a pseudo-random number generator, you generate a large integer number, format it as a string, and append that string to a prefix. Then, you try to create a new file having that name. If such creation fails because another file exists with that name, you try to generate another filename, until you find an unused combination.
  6. To cache information that can be obtained again using any request, but for which it would be costly to do so.
  7. Because the state is shared by...
