Scalavlet

yet another tiny Sinatra like Scala web application framework on top of servlet specification

object SampleServlet extends Scalavlet {
  get("/ping") { request =>
    "pong"
  }
}

class Bootstrap extends Bootable {
  def onStart (ctx: Context): Unit = {
    ctx.mount(SampleServlet, "/")
  }
}

Scalavlet is aiming to be a simple and easy-to-understand web framework on top of Servlet specification. Already a lot of elegant and sophisticated web frameworks written by Scala are there, but sometimes they are too elegant for Scala new comers or daily usages. That's the motivation why I'm trying to re-invent the wheel.

Scalavlet will stick to a web ONLY framework. You can integrate with any kind of view frameworks and persistence frameworks. We may provide several integration samples.

This project is highly affected by Scalatra and Finatra. I would like to say to thank so much to them. m(_ _)m
