Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a
wonderful Perl library called L<CGI>. It was simple enough to get started
without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going,
learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated
now, the idea behind it is not. L<Mojolicious> is a new attempt at
implementing this idea using state of the art technology.
=head2 Features
=over 2
=item *
An amazing real-time web framework supporting a simplified single file mode
through L<Mojolicious::Lite>.
=over 2
Powerful out of the box with RESTful routes, plugins, Perl-ish templates,
session management, signed cookies, testing framework, static file server,
I18N, first class unicode support and much more for you to discover.
=back
=item *
Very clean, portable and Object Oriented pure Perl API without any hidden
magic and no requirements besides Perl 5.10.1 (although 5.12+ is recommended,
and optional CPAN modules will be used to provide advanced functionality if
they are installed).
=item *
Full stack HTTP 1.1 and WebSocket client/server implementation with IPv6, TLS,
IDNA, Comet (long polling), chunking and multipart support.
=item *
Built-in non-blocking I/O web server supporting libev and hot deployment,
perfect for embedding.
=item *
Automatic CGI and L<PSGI> detection.
=item *
JSON and HTML5/XML parser with CSS3 selector support.
=item *
Fresh code based upon years of experience developing L<Catalyst>.
=back
=head2 Installation
All you need is a oneliner, it takes less than a minute.
$ curl get.mojolicio.us | sh
=head2 Getting Started
These three lines are a whole web application.
use Mojolicious::Lite;
get '/' => {text => 'Hello World!'};
app->start;
To run this example with the built-in development web server just put the code
into a file and start it with C<morbo>.
$ morbo hello.pl
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/
Hello World!
=head2 Duct tape for the HTML5 web
Web development for humans, making hard things possible and everything fun.
use Mojolicious::Lite;
# Simple plain text response
get '/' => {text => 'Hello World!'};
# Route associating "/time" with template in DATA section
get '/time' => 'clock';
# RESTful web service with JSON and text representation
get '/list/:offset' => sub {
my $self = shift;
my $numbers = [0 .. $self->param('offset')];
$self->respond_to(
json => {json => $numbers},
txt => {text => join(',', @$numbers)}
);
};
# Scrape information from remote sites
post '/title' => sub {
my $self = shift;
my $url = $self->param('url') || 'http://mojolicio.us';
$self->render_text(
$self->ua->get($url)->res->dom->html->head->title->text);
};
# WebSocket echo service
websocket '/echo' => sub {
my $self = shift;
$self->on(message => sub {
my ($self, $message) = @_;
$self->send("echo: $message");
});
};
app->start;
__DATA__
@@ clock.html.ep
% use Time::Piece;
% my $now = localtime;
The time is <%= $now->hms %>.
Single file prototypes like this one can easily grow into well-structured
applications.
