Web development in Rust

A collection of various web frameworks and other web-related tools in Rust. The ones I have started to review are in bold.

Based on the replies to the question I asked on Reddit: Which web framework do you use in Rust? I can say that most of these were mentioned, but I think axum and actix got the most comments.

I will keep updating this page as I find more Crates that are strongly related to web development. You can suggest more thing in issues or Pull-Request!
