//! into rust readable form.

/// # Fields
//
/// * `port` - It stores the parsed port number option on which the server should launch.
/// * `binding_ip_addr` - It stores the parsed ip address option on which the server should launch
/// * `style` - It stores the theming options for the website.
/// * `redis_connection_url` - It stores the redis connection url address on which the redis
/// client should connect.
