A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
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/S client and HTTP server which can be used to drive complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
The documentation is located at http://hyperium.github.io/hyper.
WARNING: Hyper is still under active development. The API is still changing in non-backwards-compatible ways without warning.
