in plain english

This repository is a reference document that compares the various web frameworks and libraries available for the Rust programming language. Rust is known for being fast and memory-safe, and its ecosystem has grown to include many options for building web applications. The problem is that choosing between them is not obvious, so this document organizes them into categories with side-by-side tables showing key characteristics of each. The comparison covers several distinct categories. Frontend frameworks are tools that compile Rust code into WebAssembly so it can run directly in a web browser, similar to how JavaScript frameworks work. Examples listed include Dioxus, Leptos, Iced, and egui. Server frameworks handle HTTP requests on the backend, the document splits these into high-level frameworks, which provide more built-in structure, and low-level ones, which offer more control. Client frameworks handle making HTTP requests from Rust code to external services. There are also sections for templating libraries, which generate HTML, and for WebSocket libraries, which handle real-time connections. For each framework, the tables show attributes like the number of GitHub stars, number of contributors, recent activity level, download counts, licensing, and current version. Some frameworks are marked as outdated, meaning they are no longer actively maintained, and they are grouped into separate sections so readers can quickly focus on the actively developed options. The document only includes frameworks that work on stable Rust, which filters out experimental or nightly-only options. It does not include editorial opinions or recommendations about which framework to choose. The full README is longer than what was shown.
