snap-core-0.9.7.0: Snap: A Haskell Web Framework (core interfaces and types)

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/.

This library contains the core definitions and types for the Snap framework, including:

1. Primitive types and functions for HTTP (requests, responses, cookies, post/query parameters, etc)
2. Type aliases and helper functions for Iteratee I/O
3. A monad for programming web handlers called "Snap", which allows:

• Stateful access to the HTTP request and response objects
• Monadic failure (i.e. MonadPlus/Alternative instances) for declining to handle requests and chaining handlers together
• Early termination of the computation if you know early what you want to return and want to prevent further monadic processing

Quick start: The Snap monad and HTTP definitions are in Snap.Core, some iteratee utilities are in Snap.Iteratee.
