-== Handlers
-
-Handlers are Erlang modules that handle HTTP requests.
-
-=== Plain HTTP handlers
-
-The most basic handler in Cowboy implements the mandatory
-`init/2` callback, manipulates the request, optionally
-sends a response and then returns.
-
-This callback receives the xref:req[Req object] and the initial
-state defined in the xref:routing[router configuration].
-
-A handler that does nothing would look like this:
-
-[source,erlang]
-----
-init(Req, State) ->
-    {ok, Req, State}.
-----
-
-Despite sending no reply, a `204 No Content` response will be
-sent to the client, as Cowboy makes sure that a response is
-sent for every request.
-
-We need to use the Req object to reply.
-
-[source,erlang]
-----
-init(Req0, State) ->
-    Req = cowboy_req:reply(200, #{
-        <<"content-type">> => <<"text/plain">>
-    }, <<"Hello World!">>, Req0),
-    {ok, Req, State}.
-----
-
-Cowboy will immediately send a response when `cowboy:reply/4`
-is called.
-
-We then return a 3-tuple. `ok` means that the handler ran
-successfully. We also give the modified Req back to Cowboy.
-
-The last value of the tuple is a state that will be used
-in every subsequent callbacks to this handler. Plain HTTP
-handlers only have one additional callback, the optional
-and rarely used `terminate/3`.
-
-=== Other handlers
-
-The `init/2` callback can also be used to inform Cowboy
-that this is a different kind of handler and that Cowboy
-should switch to it. To do this you simply need to return
-the module name of the handler type you want to switch to.
-
-Cowboy comes with three handler types you can switch to:
-xref:rest_handlers[cowboy_rest], xref:ws_handlers[cowboy_websocket]
-and xref:loop_handlers[cowboy_loop]. In addition to those you
-can define your own handler types.
-
-Switching is simple. Instead of returning `ok`, you simply
-return the name of the handler type you want to use. The
-following snippet switches to a Websocket handler:
-
-[source,erlang]
-----
-init(Req, State) ->
-    {cowboy_websocket, Req, State}.
-----
-
-=== Cleaning up
-
-All handler types provide the optional `terminate/3` callback.
-
-[source,erlang]
-----
-terminate(_Reason, _Req, _State) ->
-    ok.
-----
-
-This callback is strictly reserved for any required cleanup.
-You cannot send a response from this function. There is no
-other return value.
-
-This callback is optional because it is rarely necessary.
-Cleanup should be done in separate processes directly (by
-monitoring the handler process to detect when it exits).
-
-Cowboy does not reuse processes for different requests. The
-process will terminate soon after this call returns.
