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
