Cowboy ====== Cowboy is a small, fast and modular HTTP server written in Erlang. Goals ----- Cowboy aims to provide a **complete** HTTP stack in a **small** code base. It is optimized for **low latency** and **low memory usage**, in part because it uses **binary strings**. Cowboy provides **routing** capabilities, selectively dispatching requests to handlers written in Erlang. Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be **embedded** in any other application. No parameterized module. No process dictionary. **Clean** Erlang code. Sponsors -------- The SPDY protocol development is sponsored by [LeoFS Cloud Storage](http://www.leofs.org).
