## Overview
**Static Web Server** (or **`SWS`** abbreviated) is a very small and fast production-ready web server suitable to serve static web files or assets.
**Static Web Server** (or **`SWS`** abbreviated) is a tiny and fast production-ready web server suitable to serve static web files or assets.
It is focused on **lightness and easy-to-use** principles while keeping [high performance and safety](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/10/Fearless-Concurrency.html) powered by [The Rust Programming Language](https://rust-lang.org).
Written on top of [Hyper](https://github.com/hyperium/hyper) and [Tokio](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio) runtime. It provides [concurrent and asynchronous networking abilities](https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/02_why_async.html) as well as the latest HTTP/1 - HTTP/2 implementations.
