An alternative http library and web framework inspired by hyper

Requirement

• rustc 1.65.0-nightly (17cbdfd07 2022-09-13)

Motivation

• Thread per core. Prefer less synchronization when possible.
• 100% safe Rust. All unsafe codes are outsourced to dependencies.
• Low memory footprint. Avoid (pre)allocation when possible.
• Lightweight dependency tree. Avoid adding unnecessary import when possible. Prefer no proc macro code generation when possible(proc macro feature are still offered as opt-in instead of opt-out).
• Experiment nightly Rust feature: type_alias_impl_trait to make async web frameworks easier to use.
• Make code base compact and simple. Reduce the barrier of understanding of source code for easier contributing.
• Simplify ecosystem with no homebrew new type/crate wrapper. tokio(for async runtime) and http(for http types) are used directly as dependency.

Limitation

• Experimental.
• No stable API.
• Feature in-complete.
• Test cover is poor.
