Roda – routing tree web toolkit for Ruby

Roda is a routing tree web toolkit for Ruby.

It uses a routing tree to help developers write simple, DRY applications with explicit control flow and low per-request overhead.

Roda is built entirely around plugins, making the framework highly extensible. It supports composing Rack applications and encourages immutability for improved reliability and thread safety.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features
