Preface

Rocket is one of the first web frameworks in the Rust programming language. Rocket provides complete tooling to build web applications, such as tools for routing the requests and the strong typing of the incoming requests, and middleware to manipulate incoming requests and outgoing responses. Rocket also provides support for templating and connections to various databases.

Rocket is a web framework written in the Rust programming language. As one of the newer programming languages, Rust is designed to be performant and safe. It is easy to create a safe, multithreaded, and asynchronous application. Rust also has a strong foundation in its tooling, documentation, and community packages. All those strengths contribute to Rust's rapid growth in popularity.

This book explores building a complete web application using the Rocket web framework and the Rust programming language. You will be introduced to various techniques to build a web application that can handle incoming requests, store the data in an RDBMS, and generate proper responses back to any HTTP clients.
