Suave
A lightweight F# web server library with combinators for route flow and task composition.
What is Suave?
Suave is a lightweight web development library for F# that provides an embeddable HTTP server and a set of combinators for defining and manipulating routing logic. It is designed to integrate web server capabilities directly into F# applications, solving the need for a simple, non-blocking server that can be embedded rather than run as a standalone service. It leverages F# asynchronous workflows for high-concurrency, non-blocking I/O.
F# developers who need to embed a web server directly into their applications, such as those building microservices, APIs, or lightweight web services within an existing F# codebase. It is also suitable for developers seeking a simple, combinator-based routing approach inspired by functional programming paradigms.
Developers choose Suave for its simplicity, embeddability, and full non-blocking I/O using native F# asynchronous workflows, offering a lightweight alternative to heavier web frameworks. Its unique selling point is the combination of a minimal, embeddable server with flexible route combinators, making it ideal for integrating web capabilities seamlessly into F# applications without external dependencies.
