FastAPI Syntax · Native Tokio/Hyper Core

High-Speed Python Web Framework powered by Native Rust

RustAPI combines FastAPI's intuitive syntax with a high-concurrency Rust Tokio/Hyper runtime. Write Python handlers while offloading zero-copy SQL streaming, JWT encoding, Argon2 hashing, and hot-path routes directly to compiled C/Rust speed.

📊

CRUD Performance Report

RustAPI outperforms FastAPI across ALL CRUD endpoints (up to 12.16x faster on DELETE, 9.29x on PUT, 5.98x on POST).

🗄️

Zero-Copy SQL Stream

Stream UTF-8 JSON query results direct from sqlx to socket without creating Python dict objects or holding GIL.

🔐

Embedded Rust Primitives

Native JWT encoding/decoding, Argon2 password hashing, and MiniJinja rendering running in compiled C/Rust memory.

🤖

AI Agent MCP Server

Expose tools, resources, and prompts to Claude & AI agents via Model Context Protocol (JSON-RPC over Streamable HTTP).

🚀

3-Tier Architecture

Write Tier 1 Python handlers, Tier 2 hybrid primitives, or Tier 3 pure Rust fast-paths (>47,000 req/s) seamlessly.

Quick Setup

🚀 Getting Started & Installation

RustAPI is published as a pre-compiled wheel package on PyPI (`pyrustapi`) with zero Rust toolchain required for end users.

Installing via Pip

pip install pyrustapi pydantic

Writing Your First Application (main.py)

import rustapi
from pydantic import BaseModel

# Initialize RustAPI Engine (Tokio runtime + Hyper HTTP server)
app = rustapi.Engine()

class Item(BaseModel):
    name: str
    price: float

@app.get("/")
def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World from RustAPI"}

@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int, q: str = None):
    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}

@app.post("/items")
def create_item(item: Item):
    return {"item_name": item.name, "item_price": item.price}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)

Zero-Copy Streaming

🗄️ Rust-Native Database Engine

RustAPI embeds high-concurrency sqlx connection pooling directly inside the engine for PostgreSQL and SQLite. 

import rustapi

app = rustapi.Engine()
db = app.connect_db("sqlite://data.db")

@app.get("/products")
def get_products():
    # Streams raw JSON direct from sqlx -> socket without Python dict allocation
    return db.query_json("SELECT id, name, price FROM products")

@app.post("/products")
def create_product(name: str, price: float):
    affected = db.execute(f"INSERT INTO products (name, price) VALUES ('{name}', {price})")
    return {"status": "created", "affected": affected}
Embedded Security

🔐 Embedded Rust Security Primitives

1. Native JWT Engine (jsonwebtoken crate)

import rustapi

token = rustapi.encode_jwt({"sub": "user_100"}, secret="secret_key")
claims = rustapi.decode_jwt(token, secret="secret_key")

2. Argon2 Password Hashing

hashed = rustapi.hash_password("mypassword123")
is_valid = rustapi.verify_password("mypassword123", hashed)

3. Native MiniJinja Renderer

html = rustapi.render_template("<h1>Welcome {{ name }}!</h1>", {"name": "Boopathi"})
AI Agent Protocol

🤖 Built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

Expose tools, resources, and prompts to Claude & AI agents via Model Context Protocol (JSON-RPC over Streamable HTTP) at POST /mcp. 

@app.tool(description="Search catalog for AI agents")
def search_catalog(category: str):
    return f"Found 5 items in {category}"

@app.resource(uri="config://system", mime_type="application/json")
def get_system_config():
    return '{"status": "healthy"}'
