jingle is a Common Lisp web framework that extends Ningle with additional facilities for building web applications and REST APIs. It uses the Lack and Clack ecosystems and supports configurable HTTP servers, routing, middleware, static resources, redirects, and directory browsing.
The framework provides helpers for working with request parameters, headers, response status codes, JSON and HTML responses, and application-specific HTTP errors. A demonstration system includes an OpenAPI specification, Swagger UI, a command-line client, and Docker support.
This is free and open source software.
