Http4s is a minimal, idiomatic Scala interface for HTTP services. Http4s is Scala's answer to Ruby's Rack, Python's WSGI, Haskell's WAI, and Java's Servlets.

val http = HttpRoutes.of {
  case GET -> Root / "hello" =>
    Ok("Hello, better world.")
}

Running the blaze backend requires a modern, supported version of the JVM to build and run, as it relies on server APIs unavailable before JDK8u252. Any JDK newer than JDK8u252, including 9+ is supported.

http4s is proud to be a Typelevel project. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, and ask that the community adhere to the Scala Code of Conduct.
