A protective and efficient HTTP library for all.

- HTTP/1 and HTTP/2
- Asynchronous design
- Leading in performance
- Tested and **correct**
- Extensive production use
- Client and Server APIs

**Get started** by looking over the [guides](https://hyper.rs/guides/1/).

## "Low-level"

hyper is a relatively low-level library, meant to be a building block for
libraries and applications.

If you are looking for a convenient HTTP client, then you may wish to consider
[reqwest](https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest).

If you are not sure what HTTP server to choose, then you may want to consider
[axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum) or
[warp](https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp), the latter taking a more functional
approach. Both are built on top of this library.
