Crate actix [−] [src]

Actix is a rust actor framework.

Actors are objects which encapsulate state and behavior, they communicate exclusively by exchanging messages. Actix actors are implemented on top of Tokio. Mutiple actors could run in same thread. Actors could run in multiple threads with suppoprt of Arbiter. Actors exchange typed messages.

Features

Async/Sync actors.
Actor communication in a local/thread context.
Using Futures for asynchronous message handling.
HTTP1/HTTP2 support (actix-web)
Actor supervision.
Typed messages (No Any type). Generic messages are allowed.
Minimum supported Rust version: 1.20 or later
