Routing libraries

Application Logicλ︎

Ring - Compojure routes

Ringλ︎

Ring is the defacto library for HTTP messaging.

The Ring specification became the defacto standard in Clojure, converting requests and responses between Clojure Hashmaps and the HTTP format.

Reititλ︎

A data approach to routing for Clojure and ClojureScript.

Reitit-ring uses the Ring standard.

Compojureλ︎

Compojure is a library that works with Ring to manage

Compojure also has convenience functions that make ring responses easier to generate.

In this section we will update our project to use Compojure.

Juxt Bidiλ︎

Bi-directional URI dispatch for Clojure and ClojureScript

Bidi is written to do 'one thing well' (URI dispatch and formation) and is intended for use with Ring middleware, HTTP servers (including Jetty, http-kit and aleph) and is fully compatible with Liberator.

yadaλ︎

Resources as data

yada is a web library for Clojure, designed to support the creation of production services via HTTP.

Yada has the following features:

  • Standards-based, comprehensive HTTP coverage (content negotiation, conditional requests, etc.)
  • Parameter validation and coercion, automatic Swagger support
  • Rich extensibility (methods, mime-types, security and more)
  • Asynchronous, efficient interceptor-chain design built on manifold
  • Excellent performance, suitable for heavy production workloads

yada is a sibling library to bidi - whereas bidi is based on routes as data, yada is based on resources as data.
