Loco is a full-stack web framework for Rust designed to accelerate application development using a convention-over-configuration approach. It functions as an MVC web framework that provides a structured environment for building web applications and REST APIs.
The project distinguishes itself through an integrated API development toolkit and a command-line scaffolding engine. These tools automate the creation of controllers, models, and migrations, allowing for the rapid generation of functional CRUD resources and application boilerplate.
The framework covers a broad range of backend capabilities, including database schema management via an object-relational mapper, user identity and session management, and server-side view rendering. It also includes a background job processor for executing asynchronous tasks and scheduling recurring workflows, alongside tools for managing file storage across different providers and automating deployment configurations.
