ocaml-webmachine is a layer on top of cohttp that implements a state-machine-based HTTP request processor. It’s particularly well-suited for writing RESTful APIs.
This is an application layer that adds HTTP semantic awareness on top of the excellent bit-pushing and HTTP syntax-management provided by mochiweb, and provides a simple and clean way to connect that to your application’s behavior.
As the name suggests, this is an OCaml port of the webmachine project.
This is free and open source software.
