Dancer2 is the new generation of Dancer, the lightweight web-framework for Perl. Dancer2 is a complete
rewrite based on Moo.
Dancer2 can optionally use XS modules for speed, but at its core remains fatpackable (packable by
App::FatPacker) so you could easily deploy Dancer2 applications on hosts that do not support custom CPAN
modules.
Dancer2 is easy and fun:
use Dancer2;
get '/' => sub { "Hello World" };
dance;
This is the main module for the Dancer2 distribution. It contains logic for creating a new Dancer2
application.
