Rocket is an async web framework for Rust with a focus on usability, security,
extensibility, and speed.
```rust
#[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
#[get("/<name>/<age>")]
fn hello(name: &str, age: u8) -> String {
format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)
}
#[launch]
fn rocket() -> _ {
rocket::build().mount("/hello", routes![hello])
}
```
Visiting `localhost:8000/hello/John/58`, for example, will trigger the `hello`
route resulting in the string `Hello, 58 year old named John!` being sent to the
browser. If an `<age>` string was passed in that can't be parsed as a `u8`, the
route won't get called, resulting in a 404 error.
