If you haven’t heard of Rustls before, let me give you a quick rundown. It’s a modern TLS library for Rust that goals to provide fast and efficient encryption while also being easy to use. And boy oh boy, does it deliver!

But what sets rustls apart from other TLS libraries? Well, let me tell you it’s not just about speed or efficiency (although those are definitely important). It’s also about simplicity and ease of use. With rustls, you can easily configure your SSL/TLS connections with just a few lines of code!

Here’s an example:

// Create a new configuration object with the Config::new() function
let config = Config::new()
    // Enable TLS v1.2 and 1.3 protocols with the with_protocols() function
    .with_protocols(vec![Protocol::TLSv1_2, Protocol::TLSv1_3])
    // Add the root certificates to the configuration object with the with_root_certificates() function
    .with_root_certificates(&ROOT_CERTS)
    // Build the configuration object with the build() function
    .build();

// Create a new TLS client with the given configuration using the Client::new() function
let mut client = Client::new(config);

// Connect to "example.com" on port 443 and wait for the response with the connect() function
let conn = match client.connect("example.com", 443).await {
    // If successful, return the connection object
    Ok(conn) => conn,
    // Otherwise, panic with an error message
    Err(_) => panic!("Failed to establish TLS connection"),
};

As you can see, setting up a secure communication channel is as easy as pie! And that’s not all rustls also provides support for various ciphersuites and compression algorithms.

But what really sets rustls apart from other TLS libraries is its performance. According to the benchmarks, it outperforms OpenSSL by a significant margin in terms of both speed and memory usage!

So if you’re looking for a fast, efficient, and easy-to-use TLS library for Rust, look no further than rustls! Give it a try today and see the difference for yourself.
