Axum's Place in Tokio Ecosystem
- Axum is the official Tokio web framework under the Tokio project umbrella.
- It fits among frameworks like Actix-web, Rocket, and Warp but integrates deeply with Tokio.
Use Web Frameworks Over Low-Level APIs
- Use a higher-level web framework like Axum instead of working directly with low-level Tokio or Hyper.
- Frameworks manage boilerplate and make handling multiple routes easier and more productive.
Framework Role Inside Tokio
- Many Tokio crates can be used independently of the Tokio runtime.
- A web framework within Tokio makes sense to build on shared foundational crates like Tower and Hyper.
