Ring is a Clojure web applications library inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack. By abstracting the details of HTTP into a simple, unified API, Ring allows web applications to be constructed of modular components that can be shared among a variety of applications, web servers, and web frameworks.
The SPEC file at the root of this distribution provides a complete description of the Ring interface.
From version 1.2.1 onward, the ring/ring-core package no longer comes
with the javax.servlet/servlet-api package as a dependency (see
issue #89).
If you are using the ring/ring-core namespace on its own, you may
run into errors when executing tests or running alternative adapters.
To resolve this, include the following dependency in your dev profile:
[javax.servlet/servlet-api "2.5"]
- ring-core - essential functions for handling parameters, cookies and more
- ring-devel - functions for developing and debugging Ring applications
- ring-servlet - construct Java servlets from Ring handlers
- ring-jetty-adapter - a Ring adapter that uses the Jetty webserver
To include one of the above libraries, for example ring-core, add
the following to your :dependencies:
[ring/ring-core "1.9.5"]
To include all of them:
[ring "1.9.5"]
Please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
This project borrows heavily from Ruby's Rack and Python's WSGI; thanks to those communities for their work.
