HTTP · WebSocket · SSE · gRPC · HTTP/3 · TCP/UDP
🐙 tako
A pragmatic, ergonomic, multi-transport Rust framework for modern network services. Build one cohesive application across HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, WebSocket, SSE, gRPC, TCP, UDP, Unix sockets, and WebTransport — with a single routing, middleware, and observability model, on Tokio or Compio.
Multi-transport by design
HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 (QUIC), WebSocket, WebTransport, SSE, gRPC, raw TCP / UDP, Unix sockets, and PROXY protocol — all behind one Router and one middleware stack.
Two runtimes, one model
The same framework style on Tokio or Compio, including TLS and HTTP/2 on both sides where supported. Pick the runtime that fits the deployment, keep the code.
Typed extraction
22+ extractors for JSON (with optional SIMD), form, query, path, headers, cookies, JWT claims, API keys, Accept, Range, protobuf, and multipart. NumPy-free, just Rust types in and out.
Middleware & auth included
JWT / Basic / Bearer / API-key auth, CSRF, sessions, security headers, request IDs, body limits, rate limiting, CORS, idempotency, and compression — part of the framework, not glue.
Realtime-ready
Streaming responses, SSE, WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions, HTTP/3, and WebTransport under one crate. Background queue, in-process signals, and graceful shutdown ship in the box.
Performance paths
SIMD JSON (sonic-rs / simd-json), optional zero-copy extractors, brotli / gzip / deflate / zstd compression, and jemalloc support — without fragmenting the API.
