Hyper is not the most convenient way to build an API as it doesn’t provide out-of-the-box solutions such as detecting parameters. Interestingly enough, other web server frameworks such as warp are built on Hyper.

Rust API Using Hyper

This is an example of how to build a Rust API using Hyper with Tokio, to generate a simple API containing the following endpoints

• GET /cars = to fetch all cars
• GET /cars/:id = to fetch a specific car
• POST /cars = to create a new car

The car records are not stored in a database but rather in memory as the main reason of this project is for understanding purposes. If you need a thorough explanation, check out the article rust-api-using-hyper
