For package maintainers and hackage trustees Firefly is dead simple http framework written in Haskell. It strives for simplicity in implementation (and in use). It's great for people learning Haskell, fiddling with Monads, or who just need a really simple server for something. Here's the minimal app: Just that easy! Check out the Example App for more! Specify your routes using regex patterns, the first one which matches will run. Handler is a monad with access to the incoming request. You can access parts of it using helpers, then return a response. Here are some valid response types and their inferred Content-Type There are more in Web.Firefly.Response.

Let's write some more interesting handlers: Here's an example of responding with JSON: You should use Firefly if: Don't use Firefly if:
