Crumble is an all-in-one web framework for building server-rendered applications with the Crystal programming language.
It brings together typed HTML views, REST-style resources, session handling, forms, and a fingerprinted asset pipeline.
The framework lets developers build full-stack applications in a single binary without a front-end build step. Views, CSS, and even JavaScript can be defined using typed Crystal DSLs.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Build server-rendered web applications entirely with Crystal.
- Create statically typed HTML views using a dedicated DSL.
- Define CSS alongside markup with typed styling tools.
- Support for REST-style resources and conventional routing.

- Use before hooks to control requests and return HTTP status codes.
- Serve fingerprinted static assets with cache-busting ETags.
- Generate starter application layouts with the Crumble CLI.
