Snap Framework
--------------

Snap is a simple and fast web development framework and server written in
Haskell. For more information or to download the latest version, you can visit
the Snap project website at http://snapframework.com/.

Snap Status and Features
------------------------

The Snap core system consists of:

* a high-speed HTTP server, with an optional high-concurrency backend using
the [libev](http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html) library

* a sensible and clean monad for web programming

* an xml-based templating system for generating HTML that allows you to bind
Haskell functionality to XML tags without getting PHP-style tag soup all
over your pants

* a "snaplet" system for building web sites from composable pieces.

Snap is currently only officially supported on Unix platforms; it has been
tested on Linux and Mac OSX Snow Leopard, and is reported to work on Windows.

Snap Philosophy
---------------

Snap aims to be the *de facto* web toolkit for Haskell, on the basis of:

* High performance

* High design standards

* Simplicity and ease of use, even for Haskell beginners

* Excellent documentation

* Robustness and high test coverage
