|
|
|
Cowboy aims to provide a **complete** HTTP stack in a **small** code base.
|
|
|
|
|
It is optimized for **low latency** and **low memory usage**, in parts
|
|
|
|
|
because it uses **binary strings**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cowboy provides **routing** capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
|
|
|
|
|
to handlers written in Erlang.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
|
|
|
|
|
**embedded** in any other application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No parameterized module. No process dictionary. **Clean** Erlang code.
