# Minimalist Haskell Application Framework

This is a minimalist framework for writing a Haskell application which uses a

stack that I find pallatable. For the database layer, I use

[squeal-postgresql](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/squeal-postgresql), as

I like that it doesn't allow me to construct ill-formed queries and statements,

and to rigorously encode the schema that I expect of my database. It is also

very performant, and allows me to use my database in a flexible and performant

way if I require that. For the HTTP API and endpoint definitions I use 

[servant](https://www.servant.dev/), as I really enjoy defining the API of my

application in a clear and flexible way. Both squeal and servant are very similar

in spirit, allowing me to flexibly and precisely define what I want my application's

behavior to be, in a way that I can leverage the Haskell compiler to help me

implement and validate it. For the server itself I use

[warp](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/warp), which I simply use because it

is blazing fast compared to anything else I know of written in Haskell.

The application currently contains very little, just a basic migration system

and an application which implements an empty API. This is meant to be used as a

template to get going when I have to implement an HTTP application which needs some

database tables.
