A high-performance, purely-functional library for generating servers, type-safe clients, and rich API documentation from a single type-safe service definition.
Scalaz HTTP is a principled functional programming library for building typesafe web applications. The library is focused on composability and scalability. Unlike most other libraries, Scalaz HTTP creates clients and documentation from a single server definition.
- Type-safe client and documentation generation
- Type-safe, purely-functional design that works beautifully with Scalaz
- No macros, runtime reflection, or compiler plug-ins

1 Rho is a DSL for creating HTTP endpoints with Http4s
2 Typedapi relies on shapeless, therefore uses Macros indirectly
3 Typedapi is independent of any HTTP/library implementation
