Endpoints and Models
Routes and data.
Routes and Data Models
An API is defined by its endpoints (URLs plus HTTP methods) and the models (data shapes) flowing through them. In this lesson you will define request and response models with serde and wire up CRUD-style routes in Axum.
Defining a Model
A model is a plain Rust struct. Derive Serialize so it can become JSON in responses and Deserialize so it can be parsed from request bodies. The field names map directly to JSON keys.
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Clone)]
struct Todo {
id: u32,
title: String,
done: bool,
