Crate

http

Shared HTTP types — Request, Response, Method, StatusCode, HeaderMap.

What it is

http provides the canonical Rust vocabulary types for HTTP: Request, Response, Method, StatusCode, HeaderMap, Uri, and Version. It is a pure vocabulary crate — no I/O, no networking — used by hyper, axum, reqwest, and tower-http to pass HTTP values between libraries without type mismatches.

Why it is commonly used

Rarely used directly in application code. It is the shared foundation that lets HTTP middleware and libraries from different crates exchange Request and Response values with a common type system.

Crates that show up unusually often in http projects. The most distinctive pairings rank first — crates these projects use far more than the average indexed Rust project does, not just crates that are popular everywhere. Each percentage is the share of http projects that also use it.
