Question 1

Zino vs Axum: which should I use for a Rust web app?

Accepted Answer

Zino builds on top of Axum to provide higher-level abstractions like ORM and built-in observability, making it better for rapid development. If you prefer more control and a lighter footprint, pure Axum might be sufficient.

Question 2

How to set up a database with Zino ORM?

Accepted Answer

Zino's ORM uses sqlx and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. You need to add the zino-orm crate, configure database connections in your settings, and define models using the provided derive macros, as shown in the example projects.

Question 3

Does Zino support WebSockets for real-time features?

Accepted Answer

Zino integrates with frameworks like Actix-web and Axum that have WebSocket support, but the README doesn't mention built-in WebSocket handling. You may need to rely on the underlying framework's APIs for implementation.

Question 4

What authentication methods does Zino support?

Accepted Answer

Zino includes the zino-auth crate for authentication and authorization, supporting common methods like JWT and OAuth. You can integrate it by adding the dependency and following the crate's documentation for setup.

Question 5

How to generate OpenAPI docs with Zino?

Accepted Answer

Zino has a zino-openapi crate for auto-generating OpenAPI documentation. By annotating your API endpoints and models, it can produce specifications that align with the framework's API-first approach.

Question 6

Is Zino good for microservices architecture?

Accepted Answer

Zino's composable architecture and built-in observability make it suitable for microservices, but its opinionated nature might require adjustments if you have specific patterns or need lightweight, independent services.
