Who can explain the difference between hyper and Tokio in Rust?

Question

Rust

I am newbie. Interested in Rust. Learned about hyper and Tokio. Hyper'a says that this is an implementation of HTTP, and Tokio for the network code. From my point of view, I can't figure out what the difference is. You can also write a server on hyper (well, I kind of understood this), and it’s also written about the implementation of the client. What is it? This is not the client-side, which is usually written in JavaScript.

Answer 1

HTTP is a protocol. Tokio is a library for writing network code of any kind. But Tokio can't parse HTTP. To do this, there is Hyper - a library for writing HTTP servers and clients. The HTTP server on Hyper will use Tokio to work with connections, and Hyper will already parse HTTP.
The client-server model obviously has a client and a server. An HTTP client is still the same socket, only it is no longer a server one. Therefore, here Hyper can create requests and parse responses. And also, perhaps, to interact with the network using Tokio.
