What it is

Warp is a composable, asynchronous web server framework for Rust that builds on top of Hyper to provide HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and WebSocket support with minimal boilerplate. Its core abstraction is the Filter—combinable units that express routing, header extraction, body deserialization, compression, and middleware logic—enabling developers to compose complex request-handling logic from simple, reusable pieces. Modular filter-based architecture: src/filter/ contains core combinators (and.rs, or.rs, map.rs, then.rs) for composing filters; src/filters/ provides concrete filter implementations (path, query, body, ws, compression, cors, etc.); src/reply.rs and src/server.rs handle response…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/lib.rs — Main library entry point exposing the Filter trait and core warp API; essential for understanding the framework's public…
• src/filter/mod.rs — Defines the Filter trait—the fundamental abstraction that all request handling is built upon; all filters compose through…
• src/server.rs — HTTP server implementation that binds filters to a Hyper server and handles request dispatch; critical for runtime behavior.
• src/filters/mod.rs — Aggregates all built-in filter implementations (path, query, header, body, etc.); primary reference for available filters.
• src/reject.rs — Error handling and rejection mechanism for filters; determines how unmatched or invalid requests are processed.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp.git
cd warp
cargo build
cargo test

Verify Rust and Cargo are installed (Cargo.toml indicates MSRV via edition = "2021"). Run cargo run --example to explore the examples directory (referenced in README but not detailed in file list).

Daily commands:

No shell startup command is inferrable from standard manifest structure (Cargo.toml defines a library, not a binary with [[bin]]). Run examples with cargo run --example <name> after identifying examples in the example…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Scorecard: marked unmaintained (1/10)
• TLS not ready: tokio-rustls and rustls-pemfile are commented out in Cargo.toml, meaning native TLS support is not available in 0.4.3—users must reverse-proxy behind a TLS terminator. Feature flags required:…
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
