= Cowboy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Goals
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Cowboy aims to provide a *complete* HTTP stack in a *small* code base.
 | 
						|
It is optimized for *low latency* and *low memory usage*, in part
 | 
						|
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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code.
