Functional API to process HTTP requests with ASP.NET MVC-like routing inspired by express.js
- Lightweight library - now ~164kb
- Extensible
- Built-in light http server
- Based on .NET BCL only without external dependencies
- Using System.Web.Routing for url routing
- Compilable and runnable on Mono
- Runnable in ASP.NET applications since ExpressApplication implements IHttpHandler
- Use WebService extension to handle requests using existing web service class
- Use HttpHandler extension to handle requests using existing IHttpHandler implementations
- Use Static extension to serve static files
- Use Embedded extension to serve emmbedded resources of application assemblies
