- Is there a proper websockets server framework in Rust?
- Netty-rs - small rust library to easily write server/client networking protocols at application level
I'm working in a transport network library that possible fits as a building block for yours and solves the problem of using different underlying transports: message-io
- Announcing message-io 0.12 - an event-driven message library to build network applications easy and fast. Now with zero-copy write/read messages. Performance close to using native OS socket with all the facilities the library offers.
Here is benchmarks
- Someone built a chat backend with Rust for a production website?
I think https://github.com/lemunozm/message-io can be a good candidate.
- message-io: an event-driven message library to build network applications easy and fast. Now with WebSocket support
The idea behind message-io is not to populate a current transport with a lot of options/profiles/modifications... this obfuscates the default way of working with it. Instead, if you want to build some behaviour on top of it, it is as easy as making an adapter! Following this pattern, you can split the way of using the library from the behaviour of the transport, keeping the things simple.
- termchat: Terminal chat application on LAN with file transfer and ASCII webcam video streaming support. Built on top of tui-rs and message-io crates
The initial purpose was to show the capabilities of https://github.com/lemunozm/message-io Nevertheless, Termchat is growing and needs to polish some of its features. At this point it is not for real-world use but I hope to reach this target.
