Tokio is an asynchronous runtime for the Rust programming language. It provides the building blocks needed for writing networking applications. It gives the flexibility to target a wide range of systems, from large servers with dozens of cores to small embedded devices.

At a high level, Tokio provides a few major components:

• A multi-threaded runtime for executing asynchronous code.
• An asynchronous version of the standard library.
• A large ecosystem of libraries.
