## The Hook

Axum is web development that feels like Rust.

## What's Good

Type-safe extractors catch errors at compile time. Tower middleware ecosystem is reusable. No macros means better IDE support. The Tokio team maintains it.

## The Catch

Less batteries-included than frameworks like Actix. Error messages can be cryptic. Some patterns require boilerplate.

## Verdict

The web framework that embraces Rust idioms.
