Features

• Request Routing - Matches incoming network requests to handler functions by evaluating URL paths, methods, and headers.
• HTTP Handler Interfaces - Routes incoming HTTP requests to handler functions by evaluating criteria like methods, headers, and hostnames.
• HTTP Routers - Matches incoming network requests to handler functions based on URL paths, methods, and headers.
• HTTP Routing - Directs incoming HTTP traffic to specific handler functions based on request methods and URL paths.
• Path Variable Extractors - Parses dynamic URL path segments into handler function arguments for flexible request processing.
• RESTful API Frameworks - Provides a toolkit for building RESTful web services with routing and middleware support.
• Route Grouping - Organizes API endpoints into logical hierarchies with shared middleware and path prefixes.
• Web Server Frameworks - Provides a toolkit for building web services with routing, middleware execution, and URL generation.
• Regex Path Matchers - Matches incoming request paths against pre-compiled regular expressions to determine the appropriate handler.
• Session & Cookie Handlers - Maintains user state across stateless HTTP requests by encoding and decoding data into secure browser cookies.
• Middleware - Wraps web requests with reusable logic like logging, compression, or security headers.
• Middleware Chains - Wraps request handlers in sequential function chains to process data before and after business logic execution.
• RESTful API Development - Maps network requests to internal functions and manages dynamic URL parameters to expose structured RESTful services.
• Route Handlers - Parses dynamic segments from incoming URL paths and passes those values into handler functions.
• HTTP Routing - Powerful URL routing and dispatching.
• Routing and Middleware - Powerful HTTP router and URL matcher.
• Web Frameworks - Powerful HTTP router and URL matcher.
• WebSocket Servers - Establishes full-duplex communication links between clients and servers for real-time data exchange.
• Custom Session Storage Providers - Maintains state across multiple HTTP requests using cookie or filesystem storage with support for custom backends.
• Request Middleware - Wraps request handlers with reusable logic to process data before or after reaching the final endpoint.
• Route Naming Systems - Maintains a central registry of named routes to facilitate programmatic URL generation and consistent link construction.
• URL Generators - Constructs valid web addresses from defined route patterns and variable inputs for consistent link generation.
• URL Utilities - Parses dynamic segments from web addresses and maps them to specific application logic or controller methods.
• Cross-Site Request Forgery Protections - Validates incoming requests against cross-site request forgery attacks by verifying security tokens within middleware.
• Exposed Header Configurations - Configures response headers automatically based on defined HTTP methods to simplify cross-origin requests.
• Real-Time Communication - Establishes persistent, full-duplex connections for real-time data exchange between clients and servers.
• Cookie Security - Provides secure cookie handling with authentication and encryption to prevent tampering and unauthorized access.
• Form Data Support - Converts incoming form data into structured objects and serializes objects back into form values.
• RPC Service Mappers - Maps incoming web requests to specific object methods to allow external clients to trigger internal functions.
• URL Construction - Constructs consistent web addresses from route patterns to ensure reliable link generation throughout the application.
