Differences from axum::extract::ws

axum already supports WebSockets through axum::extract::ws. However the fact that axum uses tungstenite under the hood is a private implementation detail. Thus axum doesn't directly expose types from tungstenite, such as tungstenite::Error and tungstenite::Message. This allows axum to update to a new major version of tungstenite in a new minor version of axum, which leads to greater API stability.

This library works differently as it directly uses the types from tungstenite in its public API. That makes some things simpler but also means axum-tungstenite will receive a new major version when tungstenite does.

Which should you choose?

By default you should use axum::extract::ws unless you specifically need something from tungstenite and don't mind keeping up with additional breaking changes.
