+This crate provides an async version of [`std`]. It provides all the interfaces
+you are used to, but in an async version and ready for Rust's `async`/`await`
+syntax.
[`std`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/index.html
-## Documentation
+## Features
-`async-std` comes with [extensive API documentation][docs] and a [book][book].
+- __Modern:__ Built from the ground up for `std::future` and `async/await` with
+ blazing fast compilation times.
+- __Fast:__ Our robust allocator and threadpool designs provide ultra-high
+ throughput with predictably low latency.
+- __Intuitive:__ Complete parity with the stdlib means you only need to learn
+ APIs once.
+- __Clear:__ [Detailed documentation][docs] and [accessible guides][book] mean
+ using async Rust was never easier.

[book]: https://book.async.rs
-## Quickstart
-
-Add the following lines to your `Cargo.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[dependencies]
-async-std = "0.99"
-```
-
-Or use [cargo add][cargo-add] if you have it installed:
-
-```sh
-$ cargo add async-std
-```
-
-[cargo-add]: https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit
-
-## Hello world
+## Examples
```rust
use async_std::task;
@@ -47,96 +84,48 @@ fn main() {
}
```
-## Low-Friction Sockets with Built-In Timeouts
+More examples, including networking and file access, can be found in our
+[`examples`] directory.
-```rust
-use std::time::Duration;
+[`examples`]: https://github.com/async-rs/async-std/tree/master/examples
-use async_std::{
- prelude::*,
- task,
- io,
- net::TcpStream,
-};
+## Philosophy
-async fn get() -> io::Result> {
- let mut stream = TcpStream::connect("example.com:80").await?;
- stream.write_all(b"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n").await?;
+We believe Async Rust should be as easy to pick up as Sync Rust. We also believe
+that the best API is the one you already know. And finally, we believe that
+providing an asynchronous counterpart to the standard library is the best way
+stdlib provides a reliable basis for both performance and productivity.
- let mut buf = vec![];
+Async-std is the embodiment of that vision. It combines single-allocation task
+creation, with an adaptive lock-free executor, threadpool and network driver to
+create a smooth system that processes work at a high pace with low latency,
+using Rust's familiar stdlib API.
- io::timeout(Duration::from_secs(5), async {
- stream.read_to_end(&mut buf).await?;
- Ok(buf)
- }).await
-}
+## Installation
-fn main() {
- task::block_on(async {
- let raw_response = get().await.expect("request");
- let response = String::from_utf8(raw_response)
- .expect("utf8 conversion");
- println!("received: {}", response);
- });
-}
+With [cargo add][cargo-add] installed run:
+
+```sh
+$ cargo add async-std
```
-## Features
+We also provide a set of "unstable" features with async-std. See the [features
+documentation] on how to enable them.
-`async-std` is strongly commited to following semver. This means your code won't
-break unless _you_ decide to upgrade.
-
-However every now and then we come up with something that we think will work
-_great_ for `async-std`, and we want to provide a sneak-peek so you can try it
-out. This is what we call _"unstable"_ features. You can try out the unstable
-features by enabling the `unstable` feature in your `Cargo.toml` file:
-
-```toml
-[dependencies.async-std]
-version = "0.99"
-features = ["unstable"]
-```
-
-Just be careful when using these features, as they may change between
-versions.
-
-## Take a look around
-
-Clone the repo:
-
-```
-git clone git@github.com:async-rs/async-std.git && cd async-std
-```
-
-Generate docs:
-
-```
-cargo +nightly doc --features docs --open
-```
-
-Check out the [examples](examples). To run an example:
-
-```
-cargo +nightly run --example hello-world
-```
