## Description

Compojure is a routing library for Ring web applications that maps HTTP requests to handler functions using composable route definitions. It serves as a middleware component for the Ring ecosystem, directing web traffic to specific application logic by matching incoming request methods and paths against defined URI patterns.

The router utilizes a modular architecture that allows related endpoints to be grouped into decoupled modules. This composition model enables the construction of larger applications from smaller, independent routing contexts.

The library provides capabilities for processing web requests, including the transformation of raw URI path parameters into specific data types and the normalization of request URIs. It also includes functionality for serving static assets by mapping request paths to physical files or internal resources.
