validator

I've spent the last several weeks porting a backend I had written in Go over to Rust (using Axum) and so far so good. But I don't know if I can call things in the Rust world like Axum/Actix/etc. "frameworks" anymore considering all the time I've had to spend researching/vetting crates to get the same functionality that comes out of the box in Spring/ASP.net/Django/etc. Take handling datetimes for example. Do I use time or chrono? The initial developer/maintainer of chrono left[1] and for the longest time the crate was unmaintained while a CVE remained open[2] until a new maintainer finally came along and addressed it (I think?). All right, so, time it is then... but it uses its own custom format specifiers[3] that I had to get used to coming from the more familiar strftime used by other languages. Or how about input/form validation. One o

What's everyone using when it comes to data validation these days? Maintenance for one of the most popular crates for this seems to have slowed[1] and options for JSON Schema validators still seem immature[2] (but the ones I've tried work well so far).

I've made a few things: - Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) a SSG that works like I wanted and had a template engine close to Jinja2. I was using Hugo at the time but can't stand Golang template engine (imagine my sadness recently when I realised what Helm Charts are using...) - Tera (https://github.com/keats/tera): a template engine pretty close to Jinja2/Django templates - at the time it was made only Handlebars existed in Rust and it was not enough for what I needed in Zola - kickstart (https://github.com/Keats/kickstart): an equivalent of cookiecutter from Python but trying to be more interactive/powerful as a simple binary, see the GIF in the repo for an example - validator (https://github.com/Keats/validator): my take on Python marshmallow validations, nothing existed at the time. So yeah, most of my open-source is re-creating

I've been really happy with Keats's validator library [1]. 'semval' doesn't seem as user friendly as 'validator' but maybe it's trying to solve a different problem? [1] https://github.com/Keats/validator
