async-std

Async version of the Rust standard library

API Docs | Book | Releases | Contributing

This crate provides an async version of std. It provides all the interfaces you are used to, but in an async version and ready for Rust's async/await syntax.

Features

Modern: Built from the ground up for std::future and async/await with blazing fast compilation time.
Fast: Our robust allocator and threadpool designs provide ultra-high throughput with predictably low latency.
Intuitive: Complete parity with the stdlib means you only need to learn APIs once.
Clear: Detailed documentation and accessible guides mean using async Rust was never easier.

Examples

use async_std::task;

async fn say_hello() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

fn main() {
    task::block_on(say_hello())
}

More examples, including networking and file access, can be found in our examples directory and in our documentation.

Philosophy

We believe Async Rust should be as easy to pick up as Sync Rust. We also believe that the best API is the one you already know. And finally, we believe that providing an asynchronous counterpart to the standard library is the best way stdlib provides a reliable basis for both performance and productivity.

Async-std is the embodiment of that vision. It combines single-allocation task creation, with an adaptive lock-free executor, threadpool and network driver to create a smooth system that processes work at a high pace with low latency, using Rust's familiar stdlib API.

Installation

Run this in your projects folder:

$ cargo add async-std

We also provide a set of "unstable" features with async-std. See the features documentation on how to enable them.
