A Rust web framework for building maintainable, well-factored web applications with a REST-first, resource-oriented design.
Cargonauts is a Rust web framework focused on building maintainable and well-factored web applications. It uses a REST-first, resource-oriented architecture to structure apps as networks of related resources with clear interfaces. The framework is built on tokio, providing asynchronous I/O by default for efficient performance.
Rust developers building web applications who prioritize clean architecture, maintainability, and structured design patterns. It suits those working on REST APIs or hypermedia-driven services.
Developers choose Cargonauts for its emphasis on decoupled, well-factored code that prevents spaghetti architecture, combined with built-in async support and a resource-oriented approach to REST APIs.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Encourages building applications as networks of related resources with methods, including a JSON API hypermedia format for consistent and scalable API design.
Provides clear interfaces between distinct building blocks, helping prevent spaghetti code and promoting modular, reusable components as emphasized in the README.
Built on tokio, it handles asynchronous I/O out of the box, enabling efficient concurrent operations without additional configuration for performance-intensive apps.
The README explicitly warns it's a work in progress with frequent breaking changes and no security hardening, making it risky for any critical or production use.
As a newer Rust framework, it lacks the extensive community, middleware, and documentation found in more established options like Actix-web or Rocket.
The focus on clean separation can introduce boilerplate and complexity for simpler applications that don't require such rigorous structure, potentially slowing development.
