Where's the equivalent of `tokio-util` in smol/async-std community?

1

The tokio-util crate provides a number of utils that are useful and handy in web applications, based on tokio's AsyncRead/AsyncWrite primitives. Many of these utils I have not found alternatives in async-std crate and elsewhere.

tokio-uti has a bunch of unrelated features, which are probably in separate crates for smol/async-std. I suggest asking about the specific features you need, so the right crates can be suggested.

For this time it's ReaderStream, which is useful if you want to serve files or other streaming stuff with hyper.
Also the whole tokio_util::codec module, which is used in the h2 crate for protocol parsing. If there is an implementation that is runtime-agnostic and uses traits from futures, it may be helpful to make h2 runtime-agnostic, not to mention being useful itself.

Thanks. I don't use async, so I'm just reading doc, but have you looked at smol::stream module?

It is actually futures_lite::stream, and only has extensions related to futures_core::Stream itself, and has no interop features with AsyncRead (for smol/async-std it's futures_io::AsyncRead).

It seems that no one familiar with smol/async_std ecosystem is answering questions here, so you may want to file a github issue asking your question. I don't know whether an issue in the smol or async_std would be best. I don't see any community chats/forums for smol/async_std. I assume you've already looked at the async_std stream package.
