Mojolicious is a real-time web application framework, written by Sebastian Riedel, creator of the web application framework Catalyst. ^[3] Licensed as free software under the Artistic License v 2.0, it is written in the Perl programming language, and is designed for use in both simple and complex web applications, based on Riedel's previous experience developing Catalyst. ^[4] Documentation for the framework was partly funded by a grant from The Perl Foundation. ^[5]

As it is written in Perl, Mojolicious can run on any of the many operating systems for which Perl is available, and can be installed directly from CPAN. ^[6] Prebuilt packages of Mojolicious are also available for NetBSD from pkgsrc ^[7] and for Microsoft Windows and other operating systems from ActiveState's Perl package manager. ^[8]

Features

• Real-time web framework supporting a simplified single file mode through Mojolicious::Lite. ^[9]
• Out-of-the-box support for RESTful routes, plugins, Perl-ish templates, session management, signed cookies, testing framework, static file server and full Unicode support.
• Portable and object oriented Perl API with no requirements besides Perl 5.10.1 (although 5.18+ is recommended, and optional CPAN modules will be used to provide advanced functionality if they are installed).

• Built-in non-blocking I/O web server supporting libevent and hot deployment for embedding. ^[12]
