placid
A REST toolkit for building highly-scalable and fault-tolerant HTTP APIs with Elixir.
What is placid?
Placid is a toolkit for building robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant RESTful HTTP APIs in Elixir. It provides a structured foundation that emphasizes adherence to HTTP specifications and best practices, including versioned routing, request parsing, and content rendering. The toolkit is designed to help developers create maintainable, HTTP-compliant APIs with extensible components for real-world scalability.
Elixir developers and teams building production-grade RESTful HTTP APIs that require strict HTTP compliance, versioning, and scalability. It is particularly suited for those who need to enforce HTTPS, support multiple content types (JSON, XML), and implement internationalization in their API responses.
Developers choose Placid for its focus on HTTP specification compliance and its comprehensive feature set out-of-the-box, including versioned routing via Accept headers or URL patterns, automatic request parsing, and configurable CORS and HTTPS enforcement. Its integration with Linguist for internationalization and structured approach to API design make it a strong alternative for building maintainable, fault-tolerant APIs in Elixir.
