Backtalk is a web framework for Rust. Much is subject to change and it's not ready for writing production sites, but the structure is there, and I'm glad to answer questions/help out if the documentation isn't enough.

- **Asynchronous** – use Futures for everything, handle thousands of concurrent connections.

- **Realtime** – expose a streaming API, and push live events to clients.

- **Simple** – only a couple hundred lines of code.

- **Opinionated** – exclusively for JSON-based RESTful APIs.

- **Magicless** – no macros, no unsafe, runs on stable Rust.

A simple server example:

```rust

let mut server = Server::new();

let database = memory::MemoryAdapter::new();

server.resource("/cats", move |req: Request| {

  database.handle(req)

});

server.listen("127.0.0.1:3000");

```

You can look in the `examples` directory for more information, or the [blog post](https://lord.io/blog/2017/backtalk) walking through the examples.
