A REST-like API micro-framework for Elixir, inspired by Grape, designed for building modular and structured web services.
What is maru?
Maru is a REST-like API micro-framework for Elixir, inspired by Ruby's Grape framework. It provides a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building modular, versioned, and well-structured RESTful APIs with built-in features like parameter validation and error handling. The framework integrates seamlessly with the Elixir ecosystem, leveraging Plug and Cowboy for HTTP handling, making it ideal for developing scalable microservices and web applications.
Elixir developers building RESTful APIs, particularly those focused on creating scalable microservices or web applications that require modular organization, versioning, and robust parameter validation. It suits teams seeking a convention-over-configuration approach similar to Ruby's Grape framework.
Developers choose Maru for its clean, declarative DSL that reduces boilerplate while offering powerful built-in features like parameter validation with types and constraints, modular routing for reusable endpoints, and centralized error handling. Its seamless integration with Elixir's Plug and Cowboy ensures reliability and leverages the language's concurrency and fault-tolerance strengths.
