hyper for Rust
An HTTP library for Rust
hyper is a fast HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. A Client for talking to web services. A Server for building those web services. Blazing fast thanks to Rust. High concurrency with non-blocking sockets. HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 support. hyper is a relatively low-level library, meant to be a building block for libraries and applications. If you are looking for a convenient HTTP client, then you may wish to consider reqwest. If you are looking for a convenient HTTP server, then you may wish to consider warp. Both are built on top of this library. A Service lets you define how to respond to incoming requests. While it is possible to implement the trait directly, there are a few patterns that are common when using Hyper. We’ve included some helpers for when these patterns fit our needs. An echo server will listen for incoming connections and send back the request body as the response body on POST requests. -

derive(Error)
derive(Error) for struct and enum error types
This is a Rust crate that provides a convenient derive macro (#[derive(Error)]) for implementing std::error::Error on your custom error types (structs or enums). The goal is to enable library authors to build expressive, typed error types, with readable Display implementations (via #[error("...")] annotations) as well as From conversions (#[from]), source tracking (#[source]), and optionally backtraces. It is designed so that switching from handwritten error implementation to using this error is not a breaking change: you retain the same API. The README shows examples: an enum with variants annotated by #[error("…")] and #[from] fields to derive the appropriate trait impls. The crate expects rustc ≥ 1.68+. The README also outlines how you choose; use thiserror if you care about designing your own error-types (e.g., for libraries) vs anyhow for applications. -

CXX
Safe interop between Rust and C++
CXX is a library that offers safe interop between Rust and C++. It provides a safe mechanism for calling C++ code from Rust and vice versa, one that is protected from the many possible things that can go wrong when bindgen or cbindgen is used to generate unsafe C-style bindings. The general idea of CXX is to define the signatures of both sides of the FFI boundary embedded together in one Rust module. CXX gets a complete picture from this of the boundary, and through it is able to perform static analyses against the types and function signatures, ensuring that both Rust's and C++'s invariants and requirements are upheld. CXX then emits the relevant extern "C" signatures on both sides through a pair of code generators. This is done together with any necessary static assertions needed for later in the build process to verify correctness. The result is an FFI bridge that operates at zero or negligible overhead, with no copying, serialization or memory allocation needed. -

Svix
The enterprise-ready webhooks service
Build a secure, reliable, and scalable webhook platform in minutes using the Svix webhook service. Webhooks require a lot more engineering time, resources and ongoing maintenance than you would first expect. Building a secure, reliable, and scalable webhook service is hard and time-consuming. We built it so you can focus on what matters most, your business. Customer endpoints fail or hang more often than you think. You need automatic retries to ensure deliverability. You need to monitor the deliverability of your webhooks to different endpoints, disable failing ones and notify your customers. Webhooks come with a myriad of security implications, such as SSRF, replay attacks and unauthenticated webhook events. You would need to build a UI for your users to add and remove endpoints, inspect logs and get ongoing reports. Offer your users a great developer experience, including the ability to test, inspect and replay their webhooks. -

rustdesk-server-demo
A working demo of RustDesk server implementation
rustdesk-server-demo is a companion repository that demonstrates how to deploy the RustDesk backend quickly, often via containerized or scripted setups. It is intended as a practical starting point for testing and small-scale pilots before moving to a hardened production configuration. The demo showcases the interplay between the rendezvous and relay components so users can validate connectivity paths end-to-end. Clear defaults minimize the amount of configuration required, making first-time evaluations straightforward. Because it mirrors the structure of a typical deployment, it helps administrators understand networking requirements, ports, and service boundaries. It’s a helpful on-ramp for teams who want to confirm RustDesk fits their environment before investing in a full rollout. -

Anyhow
Flexible concrete Error type built on std::error::Error
This is a Rust library (crate) that provides a flexible, concrete error type built atop the standard std::error::Error trait. Its primary goal is to make error handling in applications easy: instead of defining lots of custom error types, you can use anyhow::Error (or the alias anyhow::Result<T>) for fallible functions. The crate supports attaching context to errors, so you can convert a low-level error (like “file not found”) into one with richer diagnostics (“Failed to read instructions from path X”) using .context() or .with_context(). It supports downcasting (so you can inspect the underlying error type), and for recent versions of Rust, it will capture backtraces by default when the underlying error type doesn’t already. It also supports no_std mode (in limited form) by disabling default features. The README distinguishes it from library-oriented error crates (like thiserror): use anyhow when you just care about application-level error handling, not fine-grained types. -

DCV Color Primitives
DCV Color Primitives Library
DCV Color Primitives is a library to perform image color model conversion. Aware of the underlying hardware and supplemental cpu extension sets (up to avx2). Support data coming from a single buffer or coming from multiple image planes. Support non-tightly packed data. Support images greater than 4GB (64 bit). Convert an image from bgra to nv12 (single plane) format containing yuv in BT601. You might want to propagate errors to the caller function or mix with some other error types. So far, buffers were sized taking into account the image pixel format and dimensions; However, you can use a function to compute how many bytes are needed to store an image of a given format and size. If your data is scattered in multiple buffers that are not necessarily contiguous, you can provide image planes. To take into account data which is not tightly packed, you can provide image strides. -
