## Overview

Tokio is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing asynchronous I/O
backed applications. It is used for implementing networking clients and servers.

Tokio uses the [`futures`] crate as a foundation to build on, providing
networking types and other utilities needed for building a production ready
application.
