Scotty 
A Haskell web framework inspired by Ruby’s Sinatra, using WAI and Warp.
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Web.Scotty
main = scotty 3000 $
get "/:word" $ do
beam <- pathParam "word"
html $ mconcat ["<h1>Scotty, ", beam, " me up!</h1>"]
Scotty is the cheap and cheerful way to write RESTful, declarative web applications.
- A page is as simple as defining the verb, URL pattern, and Text content.
- It is template-language agnostic. Anything that returns a Text value will do.
- Conforms to the web application interface (WAI).
- Uses the very fast Warp webserver by default.
As for the name: Sinatra + Warp = Scotty.
Examples
Run /basic.hs to see Scotty in action:
runghc examples/basic.hs
Setting phasers to stun... (port 3000) (ctrl-c to quit)
Or equivalently with stack:
stack exec -- scotty-basic
Once the server is running you can interact with it with curl or a browser:
curl localhost:3000
foobar
curl localhost:3000/foo_query?p=42
<h1>42</h1>
Additionally, the examples directory shows a number of concrete use cases, e.g.
