WebSourcery is intended to be a simple web framework to allow for quick and easy development that is also extendable and can be used at a decent scale.
In conjunction with SQLSourcery, it is meant to be accessible with only the knowledge of Racket and without large amounts of database and web server technology knowledge. It is meant to be friendly to beginners with many optional defaults that create a usable web server.
WebSourcery is focused on server side computation but will also accommodate serving static files as well as rendering HTML templates. Native JSON support will allow for seamless Racket programming to translate into sensical JSON with little to no programmer effort. Each endpoint can be defined with routes including route parameters and complex route pattern matching. Static files can be served from an individual route or served from a folder like route.
SQLSourcery will allow for structures to be easily mapped, loaded, and saved to a database without the use of SQL. The intent is to allow functional programmers to easily write functional code with persistency and avoid boilerplate needed to provide basic persistency.
WebSourcery will also include a testing library to make simulating requests easy and will also be able to integrate with SQLSourcery to test persistency.
