http4r

Core

The main contract and functionality of http4r.

• Handler, Server and Client
• Writing/reading http messages to/from wire
• Abstractions for Uri, Headers, Query etc.

About

• http4r is based on Dan's projects utterlyidle and http-handler.rust and http4t by Matt and is based on http4k inspired by Mr Dave and Ivan Sanchez
• it is based on Server as a Function:
  • composable http handlers implement (Request) -> Response
  • immutable Request, Response, Headers etc
  • zero magic or reflection, stupidly simple and zero dependencies
  • easily test over the wire or rather in-memory
  • can test in-browser (not over the wire!) by compiling your app to WASM so we can write lightning-fast tests for our front end
