Does axum provide built-in client side library?

[McDic]

Summary

This might be a stupid question. If so, I am sorry.

I would like to send some HTTPS request from server when it is triggered by another HTTPS request sent to the server.

I can see there are some examples like using reqwest or using tokio::net, but did not find any example uses client library built in axum.

There might be no built-in client library provided by axum, unlike aiohttp in Python. If so, can I safely mix reqwest, tokio-tungstenite, etc with axum? I don't know much details under how async works in Rust tokio so I have no idea.

axum version

0.7.5

axum is for building HTTP servers, it does not provide a client.

I think a closer equivalent to aiohttp would be hyper on which both axum and reqwest is built.

It's safe to use reqwest inside axum handlers, just note that some types may have the same name but actually be different (e.g. if you wanted to take Response from reqwest and return that from an axum handler).

Thanks for fast answer.
