Snap is a web development framework written in the Haskell programming language. [3] [4]

Contents

Overview

The Snap framework consists of the following:

Snap runs on both Windows NT and Unix-like platforms. Snap uses the Iteratee I/O model, [11] As of version 1.0, its i/o is implemented with io-streams.

Usage

Snap is used by Silk, [12] JanRain, [13] [14] Racemetric, [15] www.lpaste.net, [16] [17] SooStone Inc, and Group Commerce. Snap is also used as a lightweight, standalone Haskell server. The static site generator Hakyll uses Snap for its preview mode. [18]
