About:
Cot is a modern web framework written in Rust that prioritizes developer productivity and ease of use. It provides an intuitive API for building web applications quickly, handling common tasks like routing, templating, and database interactions with minimal boilerplate. The framework aims to make Rust web development accessible without sacrificing performance.
Key Features:
  • Intuitive and ergonomic API design
  • Built-in ORM and database migrations
  • Automatic API documentation generation
  • Type-safe routing and request handling
Use Cases:
  • Building RESTful APIs and backend services
  • Developing full-stack web applications in Rust
  • Prototyping web projects rapidly
Alternatives:
  • Actix Web – More mature and widely adopted, but with a steeper learning curve
  • Rocket – Similar focus on ease of use, but requires nightly Rust compiler
  • Axum – Tower-based and modular, popular for async ecosystems
