Project 061 – Hello Actix-Web App

What I Built

A HTTP web server using the Actix-Web framework. This simple app responds with "Hello, Rust Web!" and introduces routing, handlers, and basic server setup.

What I Learned

Notes

Visit in Browser:

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 – You’ll see:

Key Concepts:

#[get("/")]: Registers a handler for GET requests at /

HttpResponse::Ok().body(...): Returns a plain response

HttpServer::new(): Starts the web server

Try these endpoints:

• http://localhost:8080

• http://localhost:8080/health

• http://localhost:8080/greet

• http://localhost:8080/api/greet?name=YourName

• http://localhost:8080/metrics
