This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of tokio-rs/axum and actix/actix-web using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-09-04, tokio-rs/axum contains 37,357 total lines (27,971 code) across 273 files, while actix/actix-web contains 73,267 total lines (55,350 code) across 300 files as of 2026-08-26. actix/actix-web is about 2.0x the size of tokio-rs/axum by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in tokio-rs/axum: Rust (95.0% of code), TOML (4.5% of code), Jinja2 (0.1% of code). Top languages in actix/actix-web: Rust (97.9% of code), TOML (1.6% of code), BASH (0.2% of code). Rust, TOML appear in both top language lists; Jinja2, JavaScript, HTML appear only in tokio-rs/axum's top languages; BASH, Just, Shell appear only in actix/actix-web's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. tokio-rs/axum was counted at ref main (commit 8b30afbfeee4) on 2026-09-04; actix/actix-web was counted at ref main (commit 5a9eafb991ac) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
actix/actix-web has more code: 55,350 code lines versus 27,971 for tokio-rs/axum, about 2.0x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-09-04.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for tokio-rs/axum, actix/actix-web, or any repository.
