//! There are two level of statefulness in actix-web. Application has state
//! that is shared across all handlers within same Application.
//! And individual handler can have state.
//!
//! > **Note**: http server accepts an application factory rather than an
//! application > instance. Http server constructs an application instance for
//! each thread, > thus application state
//! > must be constructed multiple times. If you want to share state between
//! different > threads, a shared object should be used, e.g. `Arc`.
//!
//! Check [user guide](https://actix.rs/book/actix-web/sec-2-application.html) for more info.
