We'll create a REST API server that allows you to store bookmarks and links to any blog or website that you wish to read later. We'll name our server linksnap. Let's create a new project by running cargo new linksnap. In this implementation, we won't be using a database for persistence for any link that is sent to our API, and will simply use an in-memory HashMap to store our entries. This means that every time our server restarts, all of the stored bookmarks will get removed.
Under the linksnap/ directory, we have the following contents in Cargo.toml:
# linksnap/Cargo.toml[dependencies]actix = "0.7"actix-web = "0.7"futures = "0.1"env_logger = "0.5"bytes = "0.4"serde = "1.0.80"serde_json = "1.0.33" ...
