  :alt: Documentation Status

Asphalt is an asyncio_ based microframework for network oriented applications.

Its highlight features are:

* An ecosystem of components for integrating functionality from third party libraries and external

  services

* A configuration system where hard-coded defaults can be selectively overridden by external

  configuration

* A sophisticated signal system that lets you connect different services to create complex

  event-driven interactions

* Supports uvloop_ and tokio_ as event loop policy providers (though YMMV with the last one)

* Elegant handling of blocking APIs through the use of thread pooling

* `Type hints`_ and `semantic versioning`_ used throughout the core and all component libraries

Asphalt can be used to make any imaginable kind of networked application, ranging from trivial

command line tools to highly complex component hierarchies that start multiple network servers

and/or clients using different protocols.

What really sets Asphalt apart from other frameworks is its resource sharing system – the kind of

functionality usually only found in bulky application server software. Asphalt components publish

their services as *resources* in a shared *context*. Components can build on resources provided by

each other, making it possible to create components that offer highly sophisticated functionality

with relatively little effort.
