= Cowboy
Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.
== 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.
Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code.
