19 awesome web utilities for Rust

Rust is a programming language focused on performance and safety, appealing to developers for its static typing and unique handling of null via optional types, which prevents runtime errors by requiring compile-time error handling. Its syntax resembles C++, and it has consistently been voted the most-loved language in Stack Overflow's developer survey. Rust offers flexibility in memory management and a large variety of open-source utilities to enhance its functionality, such as regex for parsing and matching text. The article introduces 19 web utilities that extend Rust's capabilities, including cookie for HTTP cookie parsing, clap for command-line argument parsing, and chrono for handling date and time, each serving different aspects of application development. These utilities are widely used and licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0, and some are integrated into Rust's broader ecosystem to provide robust solutions for command-line interfaces, temporary file management, and URL handling. The article also highlights tools like LogRocket for debugging and monitoring Rust applications, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right utilities based on project-specific needs to take Rust applications to the next level.
