# Sputnik
-A microframework based on [Hyper](https://hyper.rs/) providing traits to:
+This library extends the types from the [http](https://crates.io/crates/http) crate:
-* extend `http::request::Parts` with query parameter deserialization & cookie parsing
-* extend `hyper::Body` with form deserialization (and JSON deserialization with the `json` feature)
-* extend `http::response::Builder` with methods to set & delete cookies and set the Content-Type
+* extends `http::request::Parts` with query parameter deserialization & cookie parsing
+* extends `http::response::Builder` with methods to set cookies and content-types
+
+If you use [Hyper](https://hyper.rs/) and want to deserialize request bodies
+with [Serde](https://serde.rs/) you can enable the following feature flags:
+
+- `hyper_body` provides a trait to extend `hyper::Body` with an
+ `into_form` method for parsing data submitted from HTML forms.
+- `hyper_body_json` additionaly provides an `into_json` method
Furthermore Sputnik provides what's necessary to implement [signed & expiring
cookies](#signed--expiring-cookies) with the expiry date encoded into the
signed cookie value, providing a more lightweight alternative to JWT if you
don't need interoperability.
-Sputnik does **not** handle routing. For most web applications `match`ing on
-(method, path) suffices. If you need path variables, you can use one of the
-many [router crates](https://crates.io/keywords/router).
+Sputnik does **not** handle routing because even complex routing can be quite
+easily implemented with nested `match` blocks. If you want a more high-level
+router, you can check out the [router crates](https://crates.io/keywords/router).
Sputnik encourages you to create your own error enum and implement `From`
conversions for every error type, which you want to short-circuit with the `?`
