Compojure is an open source web framework for the [Clojure](http://clojure.org)
programming language. It emphasizes a thin I/O layer and a functional approach
to web development.

Compojure is still in active development. The current stable branch has been
released as version 0.3.1.

Sample Code
-----------

Here's a small web application written in Compojure:

    (use 'compojure)

    (defroutes my-app
      (GET "/"
        (html [:h1 "Hello World"]))
      (ANY "*"
        (page-not-found)))

    (run-server {:port 8080}
      "/*" (servlet my-app))

Dependencies
------------

To run Compojure, you'll need:

* The [Clojure](http://clojure.org) programming language
* The [Clojure-Contrib](http://code.google.com/p/clojure-contrib/) library
* A Java servlet container like [Jetty](http://www.mortbay.org/jetty/)
* Apache Commons [FileUpload](http://commons.apache.org/fileupload),
  [IO](http://commons.apache.org/io) and
  [Codec](http://commons.apache.org/codec).

These dependencies can be downloaded automatically using:

    ant deps

Documentation
