Summary

This chapter explored one of the most important parts of the Rocket framework. We learned about a route and its parts such as HTTP methods, URIs, path, query, rank, and data. We also implemented a couple of routes and various types related to routes in an application. After that, we explored ways to create responder types and learned about various wrappers and types already implemented in the Responder trait. Finally, we learned how to create a catcher and connect it to a Rocket application.

In the next chapter, we will learn about other Rocket components such as states and fairings. We will learn the initialization process of a Rocket application, and how we can use those states and fairings to create more modern and complex applications.
