| 1 | +# Introduction |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +`io.github.cl-sdk.wst` provides tools to help build web applications in Common Lisp. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The project is intended to offer practical building blocks for web development rather than forcing a single rigid application structure. It focuses on making it easier to define application behavior, organize request handling, and compose reusable web-related features. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Goals |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The main goals of the project are: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- provide a simple foundation for building web applications in Common Lisp |
| 12 | +- support modular application design |
| 13 | +- make common web concerns easier to manage |
| 14 | +- keep application code expressive and idiomatic |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## What this project includes |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Depending on how your application uses the library, the framework may help with areas such as: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- routing requests to handlers |
| 21 | +- session management |
| 22 | +- resilience features such as circuit breakers |
| 23 | +- organizing web application components |
| 24 | +- supporting reusable feature modules |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Intended audience |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +This project is intended for Common Lisp developers who want: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- a lightweight toolkit for web applications |
| 31 | +- reusable abstractions for server-side development |
| 32 | +- a foundation they can adapt to their own architecture |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## How to read this wiki |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +If you are new to the project, start here and then continue with: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +1. **Routing** for request dispatch and handler organization |
| 39 | +2. **Features** for optional or reusable application capabilities |
| 40 | +3. specific feature pages such as **Circuit breaker** and **Session** |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Project philosophy |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The framework is best understood as a set of composable tools. Instead of hiding application behavior behind too much convention, it aims to expose useful primitives that developers can combine in a way that matches their application needs. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +As you read the rest of the wiki, keep in mind that the exact integration style may vary depending on how the library is embedded in your application. |
