= Cowboy
|
|
|
|
Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.
|
|
|
|
== Goals
|
|
|
|
Cowboy aims to provide a *complete* HTTP stack in a *small* code base.
|
|
It is optimized for *low latency* and *low memory usage*, in part
|
|
because it uses *binary strings*.
|
|
|
|
Cowboy provides *routing* capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
|
|
to handlers written in Erlang.
|
|
|
|
Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
|
|
*embedded* in any other application.
|
|
|
|
Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code.
