# Rocket
Rocket is a work-in-progress web framework for Rust (nightly) with a focus on
ease-of-use, expressability, and speed. It currently does not work. But, when it
does, the following will be the canonical "Hello, world!" example:
```rust
#![feature(plugin)]
#![plugin(rocket_macros)]
extern crate rocket;
use rocket::{Rocket, Request, Response, Method, Route};
#[route(GET, path = "/hello")]
fn hello() -> &'static str {
"Hello, world!"
}
fn main() {
let mut rocket = Rocket::new("localhost", 8000);
rocket.mount_and_launch("/", routes![hello]);
}
```
Rocket requires a nightly version of Rust as it makes heavy use of syntax
extensions. This also means that the first two unwieldly lines in the Rust file
above are required.
## Building
Try running the examples in the `examples/` folder. For instance, the following
sequence of commands builds the `Hello, world!` example:
```
cd examples/hello
cargo build
cargo run
```
### OS X
Apple has stopped shipping `openssl` with OS X.11. As such, if your build fails
compile, you'll need to install `openssl`, `cargo clean`, and then `cargo build`
again. Here are some lightweight instructions:
```
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib
```
