# [nickel.rs](http://nickel.rs) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nickel-org/nickel.rs.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nickel-org/nickel.rs) [![](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/nickel)](https://crates.io/crates/nickel) [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/nickel-org/nickel.rs](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/nickel-org/nickel.rs?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)

[nickel.rs](http://nickel.rs) is a simple and lightweight foundation for web applications written in Rust. Its API is inspired by the popular express framework for JavaScript.

##Hello world

```rust,no_run
#[macro_use] extern crate nickel;

use nickel::Nickel;

fn main() {
    let mut server = Nickel::new();

    server.utilize(router! {
        get "**" => |_req, _res| {
            "Hello world!"
        }
    });

    server.listen("127.0.0.1:6767");
}
```

### Dependencies

You'll need to create a *Cargo.toml* that looks like this;

```not_rust
[package]

name = "my-nickel-app"
version = "0.0.1"
authors = ["yourname"]

[dependencies.nickel]
version = "*"
features = ["unstable"]
```

You can then compile this using *Cargo build* and run it using *Cargo run*. After it's running you should visit http://localhost:6767 to see your hello world!
