Rust

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it with relevant information.

Rust is an open source system programming language by Mozilla, with one or more libraries that support various IndieWeb building blocks.

Microformats Library

Two libraries for the parser and types allow for browser-grade parsing of HTML to render Microformat documents. It has an optional extension to rewrite the HTML as it's parsed to identity specific Microformat properties in JSON to a particular element, making debugging a bit easier. It also uses this to provide a sample specification validation server so you can visually see what elements conform to the expectation of a h-card, h-entry and other elements.

IndieWeb Utility Library

The objectives of the Rust library is to provide conforming implementations of the following:

• IndieAuth
• Webmention
• Micropub and supported extensions
• Microsub
• WebSub

as well as the following algorithms:

• representative h-card parsing
• authorship parsing
• original post discovery

The project at https://git.sr.ht/~jacky/indieweb-rust/ also provide examples of the use of the library by implementing:

• A sample IndieAuth client that can be run locally,
• A Webmention server that has a demonstrative implementation of Vouch,
• A WebSub and Microsub server and client demonstration of how they can be used together, implementing a in-memory reader
• A Micropub server using an SQLite database to handle searching and structure of microformats data
