Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast, type-safe, secure web applications with minimal boilerplate. Created by Sergio Benitez, Rocket uses procedural macros to provide an extremely ergonomic API while preserving Rust’s strict safety guarantees.
Routes are declared with attribute macros, request data is extracted through a type-safe trait system, and the framework enforces sound defaults around forms, secrets, and CSRF.
Async Rust web framework focused on usability, security, and speed. Type-safe routing via attributes.
✨ Features
#[get("/hello/<name>")] declares routes inline. Compiler verifies handler signatures match.
Form<T> extractor parses fields into typed structs. Validation runs at decode time.
FromRequest trait provides auth/role/db extractors. Pull state directly into handler args.
Lightweight middleware. Hook attach, request, response, shutdown lifecycle events.
Inject DB pools, configs, secrets via .manage(). Pulled by State<T> in any handler.
