Introducing Rocket – a web framework written in the Rust language

The development of the Rocket web framework began as a project of Sergio Benitez in 2016. For a long time, it was being created with a lot of Rust macrosystems to simplify the development process; because of this, a stable Rust compiler could not be used until recently, in 2021. During the development process, async/await capabilities were added to Rust. Rocket began to incorporate async/await until the issue tracker for it closed in 2021.

Rocket is a fairly simple web framework without many bells and whistles, such as database Object-relational mapping (ORM) or mailing systems. Programmers can extend Rocket's capabilities using other Rust crates, for example, by adding third-party logging or connecting to memory store applications.
