It's an open source (Apache License) micro web framework in Java, with minimal dependencies and a quick learning curve.
The goal of this project is to create a micro web framework in Java that should be easy to use and hack.
The size of `pippo-core` is only __140 KB__ and the size of `pippo-controller` (optional) is only __45 KB__.

Sample code
---------------

#### 1. Routes approach

First we must create an __Application__ and add some routes:

```java
public class BasicApplication extends Application {

@Override
protected void onInit() {
// send 'Hello World' as response
GET("/", routeContext -> routeContext.send("Hello World"));

// send a file as response
GET("/file", routeContext -> routeContext.send(new File("pom.xml")));

// send a json as response
GET("/json", routeContext -> {
Contact contact = createContact();
routeContext.json().send(contact);
});

// send xml as response
GET("/xml", routeContext -> {
Contact contact = createContact();
routeContext.xml().send(contact);
});

// send an object and negotiate the Response content-type, default to XML
GET("/negotiate", routeContext -> {
Contact contact = createContact();
routeContext.xml().negotiateContentType().send(contact);
});

// send a template with name "hello" as response
GET("/template", routeContext -> {
routeContext.setLocal("greeting", "Hello");
routeContext.render("hello");
});
}

private Contact createContact() {
return new Contact()
.setId(12345)
.setName("John")
.setPhone("0733434435")
.setAddress("Sunflower Street, No. 6");
}

}
```

where `Contact` is a simple POJO:

```java
public class Contact {

private int id;
private String name;
private String phone;
private String address;

// getters and setters

}
```

The second step is to choose your favorite [server](http://www.pippo.ro/doc/server.html),
[template engine](http://www.pippo.ro/doc/templates.html)
and [content type engine](http://www.pippo.ro/doc/content-types.html).
For example, I will choose `Jetty` as server, `Freemarker` as template engine, `Jackson` as JSON engine and `JAXB` as XML engine.
My Maven `pom.xml` looks like:

```xml

ro.pippo
pippo-core
${pippo.version}

ro.pippo
pippo-jetty
${pippo.version}

ro.pippo
pippo-freemarker
${pippo.version}

ro.pippo
pippo-jackson
${pippo.version}

```

The last step it's to start __Pippo__ with your application as parameter:

```java
public class BasicDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Pippo pippo = new Pippo(new BasicApplication());
pippo.start();
}

}
```

Pippo launches the embedded web server (found in your classpath) and makes the application available on port `8338` (default value).
Open your internet browser and check the routes declared in Application:

- `http://localhost:8338`
- `http://localhost:8338/file`
- `http://localhost:8338/json`
- `http://localhost:8338/xml`
- `http://localhost:8338/negotiate`
- `http://localhost:8338/template`

#### 2. Controllers approach

Define controller(s):

```java
@Path("/contacts")
@Logging
public class ContactsController extends Controller {

private ContactService contactService;

public ContactsController() {
contactService = new InMemoryContactService();
}

@GET
@Named("index")
// @Produces(Produces.HTML)
@Metered
@Logging
public void index() {
// inject "user" attribute in session
getRouteContext().setSession("user", "decebal");

// send a template with name "contacts" as response
getResponse()
.bind("contacts", contactService.getContacts())
.render("contacts");
}

@GET("/uriFor/{id: [0-9]+}")
@Named("uriFor")
@Produces(Produces.TEXT)
@Timed
public String uriFor(@Param int id, @Header String host, @Session String user) {
System.out.println("id = " + id);
System.out.println("host = " + host);
System.out.println("user = " + user);

Map parameters = new HashMap<>();
parameters.put("id", id);

String uri = getApplication().getRouter().uriFor("api.get", parameters);

return "id = " + id + "; uri = " + uri;
}

@GET("/api")
@Named("api.getAll")
@Produces(Produces.JSON)
@NoCache
public List getAll() {
return contactService.getContacts();
}

@GET("/api/{id: [0-9]+}")
@Named("api.get")
@Produces(Produces.JSON)
public Contact get(@Param int id) {
return contactService.getContact(id);
}

}
```

```java
@Path("/files")
public class FilesController extends Controller {

@GET
public void index() {
// send a template with name "files" as response
getRouteContext().render("files");
}

@GET("/download")
public File download() {
// send a file as response
return new File("pom.xml");
}

@POST("/upload")
@Produces(Produces.TEXT)
public String upload(FileItem file) {
// send a text (the info about uploaded file) as response
// return file.toString();
return new StringBuilder()
.append(file.getName()).append("\n")
.append(file.getSubmittedFileName()).append("\n")
.append(file.getSize()).append("\n")
.append(file.getContentType())
.toString();
}

}
```

Add controller(s) in your application:

```java
public class BasicApplication extends ControllerApplication {

@Override
protected void onInit() {
addControllers(ContactsController.class); // one instance for EACH request
// OR
addControllers(new ContactsController()); // one instance for ALL requests

addControllers(FilesController.class);
}

}
```

Don't forget that the `Controller` concept is included in `pippo-controller` module so you must add this module as dependency in your project.
